Of special note in this etching is the detail of Joseph holding a candle over which he extends his right hand.\u00a0 Stylistically, this print gives little evidence of having been derived from a full composition by Rosso.\u00a0 Only because of its association with the other prints by Limosin is it possible to posit that some details are derived from a work or works by Rosso.\u00a0 The figure of Joseph holding a candle also appears in Jean Duvet, Nativity<\/em>, which Robert-Dumesnil noted in older French painting (see R-D, V, 1841, 8, 7, and n. 1).\u00a0 Colin Eisler in The Master of the Unicorn. The Life and Work of Jean Duvet<\/em>, New York, 1979, 224-225, mentions the relation of the candle to a mystery play.\u00a0 This detail suggests the French origin of Limosin\u2019s composition.\u00a0 There is no known enamel of this composition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
