Referring to Félibien and Charles Perrault, it is to the extraordinary talent of colorist that Blanchard owes his nickname of French Titian. Born into a family of painters, Jacques Blanchard was a student of Horace Le Blanc in His art is situated between the mannerism of Jacopo Palma and the Bolognese baroque. In 1624, Blanchard leaves for Rome and familiarizes himself with the works of Guido Reni and Lanfranco and stays then two years in Venice, two Venice, two decisive years for the evolution of his style. From these patterns borrowed from Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, Blanchard ends up with this talent of colorist with chromatic velvety and the suave passages of tone. He was also influenced by his Venetian contemporaries Jan Liss, Strozzi and Feti. Our painting is probably an autograph resumption, with the help of assistants, of a lost painting of Blanchard, known from an engraving by Cornelis Blomaert, which bears at the bottom a quatrain in Latin that can be translated as follows: That by its lascivious face does not move you this woman / all burning that it is of a burning adultery: but rather Joseph, whose chaste heart / is firm enough to overcome so charming attractions.
