Joseph Interpreting the Dreams of Pharaoh. Artist: Attributed to Jörg Breu the Younger (German, Augsburg ca. 1510-1547 Augsburg). Dimensions: 67 5/8 x 57 1/4 in. (171.8 x 145.4 cm). Date: ca. 1534-47.This unfinished painting may have been conceived as part of a series devoted to the story of the Old Testament patriarch Joseph, who is seen here standing in a grand Renaissance palace, interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh (Genesis 41:14-36).The materials and technique employed--a water-based medium on ungrounded fine-weave canvas, called by the German term Tüchlein--account for the picture's subdued tonality and matte surface as well as its worn condition. Such Tüchlein offered a common lightweight and economical alternative to both large-scale panel paintings and tapestries, but their disadvantage was their susceptibility to deterioration and damage. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
