"Moses Ordering the Slaughter of the Midianites" is a 1650 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Claes Cornelisz Moeyaert. This historical and biblical painting depicts the violent and dramatic episode from the Old Testament, specifically Numbers 31, where Moses, under God's command, orders the Israelites to take vengeance on the Midianites. Moeyaert, known for his dynamic compositions and use of light, captures the intensity of the scene with a keen attention to detail and emotional expression.

The painting is a reflection of the artist's mastery in illustrating complex narrative scenes and is considered an important work within Moeyaert's oeuvre. It showcases his ability to convey movement and drama, as well as his skill in rendering figures and costumes with historical accuracy. The artwork is also notable for its depiction of a morally challenging biblical story, which has been interpreted by art historians in various ways, considering the context of the period in which it was created.

Claes Cornelisz Moeyaert, also known as Nicolaes Moyaert, was active during a time when Amsterdam was becoming a major cultural and economic center. His works often featured religious and mythological themes, and he was influenced by the likes of Pieter Lastman and the Utrecht Caravaggisti. "Moses Ordering the Slaughter of the Midianites" is part of Moeyaert's contribution to Dutch Baroque art and serves as a significant example of the interplay between religion, politics, and art during the 17th century in the Netherlands.

The painting is held in a public or private collection, and its provenance, as well as its exhibition history, contribute to its historical and cultural significance.
