Dish with Joseph and His Brothers

Probably Workshop of Antoine Conrade
Based on a woodcut by Bernard Salomon French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

Having sold him into slavery as a child, Joseph’s brothers leave famine-plagued Canaan for Egypt. Here, they kneel before the governor (not recognizing him as Joseph) to ask permission to purchase corn; Joseph responds by accusing them of spying (Genesis 42:1–16). The composition was adapted from a woodcut by Bernard Salomon (ca. 1508?–ca. 1561).
