Abstract
En
La túnica de José
,
Velázquez
alude
a
l
a
envidia que
los hijos de Jacob
le tenían al
penúltimo
de sus hermano
s
y que
propició
su venta
como esclavo
y el engaño
a su
padre
,
haciéndole creer
que había muerto
.
El pintor
compone un
plan narrativo
perfectamente articulado
y
construye
un espacio
delimitado por
dos
varas dispuestas
en el suelo
,
donde
ubica
a los envidio
sos
según su grado de culpabilidad
.
En esta
obra
,
que
pintó
durante su primer viaje a Italia,
lo
obvio enmas
cara
ciertos
significados
referidos a la envidia
y
basados en el relato bíblico y en las
Metamorfosis
de Ovidio.
Este artículo centra su atención
en
identificar
dichas
referencias
y
en
cómo Velázquez
la
s
visualiza
.
La vara con espinas entre los pies de Judá,
la mirada
oblicua, la mano en
la boca, el color negro de una prenda y
el espacio en sombras que ocupan
algunas
figuras
adquieren nuevo protagonis
mo en esta lectura.
In Joseph ́s bloodied coat , Velá zquez refers to the envy Jacob’s sons felt for the last but one of the brothers. Envy drove them to sell their brother a s a slave and to pretend to their father that hi s son had died. Velá zquez construes a perfectly articulated narrative through the space defined by two sticks lying on the ground, where he places the envious brothers according to their guilt. The work, pain ted during Vel á zquez’s first trip to Italy, conceals messages regarding envy that are based on the biblical tale and on Ovidio’s Metamorphosis . This paper endeavours to identify those references and to show how they are reflected in the picture. In this in terpretation, the thorny stick between the legs of Juda h , the sideways glance, the hand covering the mouth, the black garment and the shadowy space occupied by some of the figures acquire a new significance
