17th/18th C Italian Prints with Religious themes - Scattaglia - Joseph sold by his brothers
Joseph Sold by His Own Brothers
18th C
20" x 14.25"
This print illustrates the Old Testament scene from Genesis 37:28, in which Joseph is sold by his brothers to Ishmaelite traders for twenty pieces of silver and taken to Egypt. It’s a classic moral and religious theme frequently represented in art, particularly in the Baroque and Neoclassical periods.
Engraver: Pietro Monaco del Sc. - Pietro Monaco (1707–1772) was a Venetian engraver known for reproducing works by other artists.
Artist/Original Painter: Silvestro Manaigo Veneziano (credited center bottom). A lesser-known Venetian painter, possibly active in the late 17th or early 18th century. His work was engraved and preserved through prints like this, even if original canvases are now obscure or lost.
Publisher: Appo Innocente Alessandri e Pietro Scattaglia in Venezia. These Venetian publishers were active in the 18th century and known for printing high-quality engravings, often after religious or historical paintings.
The print was apparently commissioned or owned by a Giuseppe Pedrini (possibly a collector or patron), indicating provenance.
