"Moses on Mount Sinai" is a notable fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter Daniele Ricciarelli, known as Daniele da Volterra (1509–1566). This work is part of a series of frescoes created by the artist for the Oratory of San Trifone in the church of San Pietro in Montorio, Rome. The fresco depicts the biblical scene of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, a pivotal moment in Judeo-Christian religious history.

Daniele da Volterra, a close associate of Michelangelo, is often remembered for his role in the "Fig-Leaf Campaign," where he was commissioned to add draperies and cover the nudity in Michelangelo's Last Judgment. However, his work on "Moses on Mount Sinai" showcases his own artistic prowess and ability to convey narrative and emotion through his painting.

The fresco is characterized by its dramatic composition and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. The figure of Moses is central to the composition, with the Tablets of the Law prominently displayed. The surrounding figures and landscape contribute to the overall sense of awe and divine presence in the scene.

"Moses on Mount Sinai" is considered an important work in Daniele da Volterra's oeuvre, reflecting both the influence of Michelangelo and the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist style. The fresco is appreciated for its technical skill and its contribution to the visual interpretation of biblical stories during the Renaissance. As with many of his works, this fresco helps to cement Daniele da Volterra's reputation as a significant artist of the 16th century, despite the overshadowing fame of his contemporaries.

Daniele da Volterra's works, including "Moses on Mount Sinai," are studied for their historical and artistic value, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The fresco remains an enduring example of the Mannerist style and Renaissance art, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts alike to the church of San Pietro in Montorio to witness its grandeur.
