"The Recognition of Joseph by his Brothers" (1816-17) is a significant fresco by the German painter Peter von Cornelius, a leading figure in the German Romantic movement and the Nazarene brotherhood. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Cornelius for the Casa Bartholdy in Rome, which was commissioned by the Prussian consul Jacob Ludwig Salomon Bartholdy. The frescoes were intended to decorate the walls of Bartholdy's residence and were later acquired by the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, where they remain on display.

The fresco depicts the biblical story of Joseph, as recounted in the Book of Genesis, where Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers who had previously sold him into slavery. The emotional scene captures the moment of recognition and reconciliation, showcasing Cornelius's mastery in conveying complex human emotions and interactions through his work. The fresco is characterized by its clear composition, the use of vivid colors, and the incorporation of neoclassical and romantic elements, which were typical of the Nazarene style.

Peter von Cornelius's work on "The Recognition of Joseph by his Brothers" is celebrated for its dramatic expression and its influence on the development of religious and historical painting in 19th-century Germany. The fresco is not only a testament to Cornelius's artistic skill but also reflects the broader cultural and religious interests of the period, making it an important piece in the study of Romantic art and the revival of fresco painting in the modern era.
