"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Giovanni Battista di Jacopo, known as Rosso Fiorentino, or simply Il Rosso. Created in 1523, during the Renaissance period, this artwork exemplifies the distinctive style of Mannerism with its elongated figures and dynamic composition. The painting depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Exodus (2:17), where Moses intervenes to protect the seven daughters of Jethro, the priest of Midian, from shepherds who were preventing them from drawing water at a well.

Rosso Fiorentino, born in Florence in 1494, was a contemporary of artists like Michelangelo and Raphael, and his work is characterized by its expressive use of color and dramatic, often tense, figural arrangements that break from the harmonious and balanced compositions typical of the High Renaissance. "Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is a prime example of his approach to narrative and form, showcasing his ability to convey intense emotion and movement.

The painting originally formed part of the decoration for the Gallery of Francis I at the Château de Fontainebleau, where Rosso was invited to work alongside another Italian artist, Francesco Primaticcio. The collaboration between these two artists led to the development of the School of Fontainebleau, which had a profound influence on French art during the 16th century.

"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it reflects the cultural exchange between Italy and France and the spread of Italian Renaissance ideas across Europe. The work is currently held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Mannerist movement and its place in the oeuvre of Rosso Fiorentino.
