Master of the Story of Joseph (active c. 1470–1500)

• Was a painter of the South Netherlandish school.
• He was apparently working in Brussels, whose name is not known, but whose hand can be detected in a number of surviving paintings on panel.
• The pseudonym Master of the Joseph Sequence was given him as a name of convenience in 1923 by Walter Friedländer.
• Walter identified a series of tondi illustrating the Legend of St Joseph, which had become scattered among several museums, as all coming from the same painter.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Master of the Story of Joseph, Joseph Interpreting the Dreams of His Fellow Prisoners.
