Getting started with the collection:
Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1634
In Egypt, Joseph became the overseer of the house of the courtier Potiphar. His wife was enamoured of the handsome young man. When Joseph refused her bold advances, she falsely accused him of rape, and he was imprisoned. Rembrandt here leaves nothing to the imagination with respect to the woman’s intentions, or Joseph’s reaction.
