Joseph and Potiphar's Wife is a c. 1555 oil on canvas painting by Jacopo Tintoretto, now in the Museo del Prado, in Madrid.[1] The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife is from the Old Testament (Genesis 39:1–23).
It was bought with five other biblical paintings for Philip IV of Spain by Diego Velázquez during his second visit to Venice. The viewpoint suggests that it could have adorned a ceiling.[2] It is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[3]
