Joseph meets his father Jacob in the desert
View through Europeana Collections
Julien de Parme was of Swiss origin, but worked in Italy and France. In this work, he has used oil paint to try to emulate the plasticity of a sculptural relief. The painting is a typical example of the deep impact that antique sculpture had on artists in the late 18th century. This painting belonged to the Swedish sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel, who lived in Rome in the 1770s, at the same time as Julien de Parme.
