解説

This picture formed part of the decoration of the bedroom of Pierfrancesco Borgherini (in the Borgherini palazzo, Florence) and was commissioned to celebrate his marriage in 1515. The decorations also included Pontormo's Joseph sold to PotipharIPharaoh with his Butler and Baker/IIJoseph with Jacob in Egypt, as well as Bacchiacca's Joseph receives his Brothers/IIJoseph Pardons his Brothers。This scene is taken from the Old Testament (Genesis 42: 1-8), and shows Joseph's brothers, who had sold him into slavery, begging for help during a famine. The inscriptions allude to Christ's title of 'Salvator Mundi' (Saviour of the World). A parallel was often made between the lives of Joseph and Christ.
