Joseph and Potiphar`s wife 1634

Rembrandt van Rijn's etching "Joseph and Potiphar's wife" from 1634 depicts the biblical story of Joseph, who is resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife. The dramatic composition is captured in a chiaroscuro style, with light and shadow used to highlight the figures and create a sense of depth. The etching's intricate detail and expressive lines are characteristic of Rembrandt's masterful handling of the medium, and the scene is rendered with a sense of psychological intensity. The intimate scene provides a glimpse into the personal drama of the biblical story, and the artwork's small dimensions further emphasize the sense of closeness and tension.
