VIGNON, Claude

(b. 1593, Tours, d. 1670, Paris)

Joseph Interpreting Dreams in Prison 1620-23 Oil on canvas, 136 x 188 cm Private collection

This large-scale canvas by Claude Vignon combines the Caravaggesque elements that the artist absorbed in Italy with his preferred Mannerist style, as seen in the undulating poses of the figures and bold use of colour in Joseph's outfit. The subject of the painting comes from Genesis, in which Joseph, the young son of Jacob, explains his dreams to two of the King of Egypt's servants, who were imprisoned for having incurred the King's disfavour.

Vignon returned to the subject in a large-scale painting of c. 1643, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.
