Joseph's Brothers Throw Him Into the Pit

The work employs chiaroscuro to create depth and volume, guiding the viewer's eye into the scene. This technique, along with the use of tempera on panel, is characteristic of the South Netherlandish school during this period.

Identified as part of the Legend of St Joseph series by Walter Friedländer in 1923, the painting is now housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.

Created circa 1510, the painting reflects the South Netherlandish artistic traditions of the late 15th to early 16th centuries, with its detailed landscape and emotionally charged depiction of a biblical theme.

As an example of early 16th-century South Netherlandish art, it contributes to the understanding of the region's artistic output during this transitional period, though its specific influence or renown beyond its series attribution is not prominently noted.
