フィルムNo. Joseph sold to Potiphar
作品No. ポントルモ（ヤコポ・カルッチ）
制作年 about 1515
寸法 61 x 51.6 cm
解説 This picture formed part of the decoration of the bedroom of Pierfrancesco Borgherini (in the Borgherini palazzo in Florence), and was commissioned to celebrate his marriage in 1515. The decorations also included Pontormo's Pharaoh with his Butler and BakerIJoseph's Brothers beg for Help/IIJoseph with Jacob in Egypt, as well as Bacchiacca's Joseph receives his Brothers/IIJoseph Pardons his Brothers.The story is taken from the Old Testament (Genesis 39: 1). This scene shows Joseph (the central boy in yellow) standing before his new master Potiphar, to whom he has just been sold by the Ishmaelites, seen grappling for their payment on the left.Joseph's life was thought to mirror that of Christ:, the New Testament parallel of this incident was Christ's betrayal.Directly above Potiphar is a statue of Charity, perhaps underlining the moral message of the story.
