Joseph's Brothers Beg for Help or Joseph Reveals Himself to his Brothers is an oil on panel painting by Pontormo, executed c. 1515, now in the National Gallery in London.[1] Like Joseph in Egypt, Joseph Sold to Potiphar and Pharaoh with his Butler and Baker (all also now in the National Gallery), it is part of a series of works by the artist on the life of Joseph for the Marriage Chamber of the Palazzo Borgherini in Florence.[2]
