Joseph and his Brothers
by MAULBERTSCH, Franz Anton, Oil on canvas, 73 x 90,5 cm
The painting and its companion-piece, Rebecca and Eliezer, are early works showing the influence of Troger and the Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Pittoni. The stylistic features of his early work may be studied in this brilliantly coloured Biblical composition.
