"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is a notable fresco painted by the Italian Mannerist artist Giovanni Battista di Jacopo, known as Rosso Fiorentino, between 1523 and 1524. The work is located in the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata in Florence, Italy, and is considered one of the artist's masterpieces, exemplifying his unique style that diverged from the High Renaissance norms of the time.

The fresco depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Exodus (2:17), where Moses intervenes to protect the seven daughters of Jethro, the priest of Midian, from the harassment of shepherds at a well. This subject was a popular choice for artists during the Renaissance and Mannerist periods, as it showcased themes of bravery, virtue, and divine providence.

Rosso Fiorentino's interpretation of the scene is characterized by its dynamic composition, dramatic use of color, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's Mannerist tendencies are evident in the elongated proportions of the figures, the complex and somewhat unnatural poses, and the heightened expressiveness that imbues the scene with a sense of tension and movement.

The fresco is also significant for its historical context, as it was created during a period of great artistic experimentation in Florence. Rosso Fiorentino, along with other artists such as Pontormo, was part of a generation that challenged the established canons of beauty and harmony set by earlier Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. "Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" reflects Rosso's contribution to this avant-garde movement, which would later be recognized as Mannerism.

The work has been studied for its iconography, style, and technique, and continues to be an important piece for understanding the evolution of Italian art in the early 16th century. It remains an enduring example of Rosso Fiorentino's innovative approach to painting and his ability to convey complex narratives through vivid and emotionally charged compositions.
