Emilian School, 17th Century
Jacob being shown Joseph’s blood-stained coat,
oil on canvas, 144.6 x 193.5 cm, framed
Provenance:
art market, London;
where acquired by the present owner
The present painting depicts the dramatic Biblical episode, which was very popular in seventeenth-century painting, with a strong emotional impact. The clarity of the narration, the elegance of the gesture, as well as the sensitive use of colour are characteristic for Emilian and Bolognese painting of this period. The painting reflects a perfect balance between the classicist tradition of Central Italy and the naturalistic tendencies of the Northern Italian tradition, typical for this area.
