About the Item

Antique oil on canvas painting depicting the finding of the stolen cup in the sack of Benjamin. Finding his brothers, who had sold him into slavery so many years earlier, Joseph, without being recognized, showered them with gifts and asked them to return to Egypt with his father and younger brother because he wished to reunite his family in the land where he had become one of Pharaoh's most important officials. But since on the next trip they show up with little Benjamin but not with his father Jacob, Joseph is forced to devise a plan to get what he wants. He therefore has the ruler's silver cup hidden in Benjamin's sack, so that he can keep him to himself as a slave, causing the father, who is so attached to his younger son, to come on the trip next time. The scene of the Finding of the Stolen Cup in Benjamin's Sack shows a group of armed men who, after stopping the group of brothers open each other's sacks, including that of little Benjamin. Compressed in the small space, the numerous figures stand huddled in a variety of poses, now frontal, now in profile, now from behind, but without straying too far from tradition, as evidenced by the substantial isocephaly of the figures. The painting technique, on the other hand, is more up-to-date, with the use of bright colors and iridescent effects, as well as an accentuated use of shading to restore volume effects.
