Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (Bartsch 39; New Hollstein 128) Etching, 1634, on thin laid paper, New Hollstein's third state of four, trimmed to the platemark Plate 90 x 115mm (3 1/2 x 4 1/2in) Footnotes: Provenance Naudet, Paris (active 1778-1829)(Lugt 1937). In the Old Testament story Joseph was bought by Potiphar, the Egyptian captain of Pharaoh's guard, who appointed him as overseer of his household. Potiphar's wife took a liking to him, and made several attempts to seduce him, though the virtuous Joseph always refused her advances. On one such occasion, he fled the house leaving behind his cloak, so the rejected lady thought to retaliate by accusing him of attempted violation, using the garment as evidence. Upon hearing this, Potiphar sent Joseph to prison. Similar moralizing narratives became highly popular in seventeenth-century Counter-Reformed Europe where they served as a warning against the dangers of carnal desire, and instructed viewers to resist the temptation of sin. Like other Dutch artists of the time Rembrandt was particularly fascinated by the story of Joseph, and made numerous drawings, prints, and paintings of this Old Testament figure. Other notable etchings by the Dutch Master on the subject are Joseph Telling His Dreams (Hind 160; New Hollstein (Rembrandt).II.24.1767), representing Joseph's God-granted gift of interpreting dreams, which will lead to his release from prison and eventually to rise within the Pharaoh's household; and Joseph's Coat Brought to Jacob (Hind 70.104; New Hollstein (Rembrandt) I.195.122), an earlier episode in the life of the Jewish man, and the cause of the jealousy from his brothers, since he was favoured by his father Jacob. After an attempted fratricide, his brothers sold him into slavery, which is why he eventually finds himself in the house of Potiphar.
