Joseph Interpreting Pharoah's Dreams

by TRIBOLO, Niccolò, Marble

In 1525-27 Tribolo collaborated on fa�ade sculpture for San Petronio, Bologna, where his portal relief of Joseph Interpreting Pharoah’s Dreams, part of the Old Testament reliefs, is located on the right pillar of the right lateral portal. This relief combines recollections of the antique Laoco�n (Museo Pio Clementino, Vatican) and Michelangelo with an archaising quality inspired by Jacopo della Quercia’s sculptures on the middle portal.
