About Artwork: (Probably 1515) "This painting is one of a series of panels painted in 1515 for the Florentine bedchamber of Pierfrancesco Borgherini. They tell the life of Joseph from the Old Testament and were probably originally set into furniture. Joseph’s brothers, who sold him into slavery as a boy, come to Egypt to seek grain during a famine. Joseph, now vizier of Egypt, accuses his half-brothers, who do not recognise him, of spying. When they tell Joseph that they have a younger brother at home, Joseph demands that they bring him to Egypt. In Joseph receives his Brothers, the brothers return to Egypt with their youngest brother, Benjamin. Joseph sends them back with a cup hidden in Benjamin’s sack. The next morning, Joseph sends his steward to find the ‘missing’ cup. In this painting, which depicts three different moments in the story as a continuous narrative, the brothers are brought to Joseph, with Benjamin a prisoner. They beg for Joseph’s mercy; he reveals his true identity and forgives them." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
