      Cristobal de Villalpando

      Est: $100,000 - $150,000

      Cristobal de Villalpando (ca.1649-1714) Joseph makes himself known signed oil on canvas 59 7/8 by 82 5/8 in. (152 by 210 cm.) Executed circa 1680-90. One of the great artists of his era, Cristobal de Villalpando vied with his contemporary, Juan Correa, for the place as the most distinguished painter of the late seventeenth century.

The present work, previously unpublished and only recently rediscovered, is almost certainly a member of a known cycle depicting the life of the Old Testament Joseph. The recent catalogue raisonne identifies five other canvases from the story of Joseph, each episode based on a passage from Genesis: Joseph Recounts his Dreams to Jacob; Joseph Sold by his Brothers; The Triumph of Joseph; The Betrothal of Joseph and Asenat; and Jacob Blesses the Children of Joseph. All five are in public collections in Mexico and are tentatively dated to 1680-90, the pinnacle of Villalpando's career. The catalogue's authors conclude that the cycle must have included additional canvases. Clara Bargellini writes, "The canvases must have belonged to a group that almost certainly included additional scenes, since many episodes from the story are missing and . . . [the extant canvases] do not seem to correspond to a logical sequence."2 If it is in fact a member of this cycle, Joseph Makes
