Josef reconnu par ses freres

23 November 1809 as a gift from Napoleon I to the Saxon Elector Frederick Augustus the Just (later as King of Saxony: Frederick Augustus I); mentioned in 1920 in the inventory list “Dresden Castle, Palais am Taschenberg, Palais Parkstraße 7”. The 4 large wall tapestries (including Joseph) mentioned there for the Great Dining Hall on the second floor remained in the Dresden Castle and were not given to the House of Wettin; ; in mid-1942 the tapestries (23 pieces in total, including the tapestry named here) were stretched on 8 rolls in the Residenzschloss and transported to the vaulted first floor rooms of the Residenzschloss. In September/October 1942, the rolls were moved to the Green Vault (Fireplace, Jewel and Bronze Rooms); on August 16/17, 1943, the 8 tapestry rolls were transported to Schleinitz Palace, as an inspection on June 8, 1943 led to the conclusion that the rooms in the Green Vault were not sufficiently protected against bombing; A loss in connection with the events of WWII cannot be ruled out (according to the files, loss at the relocation site).
