About the Item

Egidio Dall'Olio (1705–1784) "Joseph the Jew in Prison" Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions (Framed): 100 x 112 cm Dimensions (Canvas): 86 x 105 cm No signatured A remarkable work by the Italian Baroque painter Egidio Dall'Olio, Joseph the Jew in Prison is a fine example of 18th-century religious narrative painting. The scene depicts the biblical Joseph, unjustly imprisoned, engaged in a moment of profound dialogue, possibly interpreting dreams or revealing divine wisdom. Dall'Olio’s mastery of chiaroscuro, fluid drapery, and expressive faces brings an intimate psychological depth to the composition. Dall'Olio, an artist of the late Baroque and early Rococo period, was known for his religious commissions and skillful rendering of figures, particularly in church frescoes and altar paintings. His style reflects the Venetian influence, characterized by soft tonal transitions and a dynamic yet harmonious composition. This painting, presented in a period-style gilded frame, remains in good condition, with age-appropriate patina enhancing its historical character. A valuable addition for collectors of Old Master paintings and religious art.
