"The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron (detail 6)" is a fresco by the renowned Italian painter Sandro Botticelli, completed between 1481 and 1482. This work is part of a series of frescoes painted by Botticelli and other artists in the Sistine Chapel, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. The frescoes depict events from the life of Moses and the life of Christ, symbolically linking the Old Testament with the New Testament and underscoring the continuity of the Christian narrative.

Botticelli's contribution to the Sistine Chapel includes several scenes, with "The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron" being one of the most dramatic. The fresco illustrates two separate biblical episodes from the Book of Numbers. On one side, it depicts the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram against the leadership of Moses and Aaron, and their subsequent divine punishment, where the earth opens up to swallow the rebels. On the other side, it shows an earlier event where the Israelites, in their discontent, stone Moses and Aaron.

The fresco is notable for its dynamic composition and the emotional intensity of the figures. Botticelli's mastery of movement and expression is evident in the way he captures the chaos and violence of the scene. The work is also significant for its placement in the Sistine Chapel, as it forms part of the visual narrative that was designed to convey theological messages to the viewers, particularly the authority of the Papacy and the Church, through the depiction of the divinely sanctioned leadership of Moses and Aaron.

As with many of Botticelli's works, "The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron" showcases the artist's skill in blending classical influences with the Christian iconography of the Renaissance. The fresco's vivid storytelling and intricate detail reflect the cultural and artistic vibrancy of the period, making it an important piece in the study of Renaissance art and Botticelli's oeuvre.
