"The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron" (1481-82) is a significant fresco by the renowned Italian painter Sandro Botticelli. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, illustrating episodes from the life of Moses as part of the chapel's thematic program focusing on the prefiguration of the coming of Christ. Botticelli, among other eminent Renaissance artists, was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV to contribute to the decoration of the newly completed chapel, marking a pivotal moment in the history of Renaissance art.

The fresco depicts two distinct episodes from the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament. On one side, it shows the rebellion led by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram against the leadership of Moses and Aaron, and on the other, it illustrates the subsequent divine punishment where the earth opens up to swallow the rebels, emphasizing the theme of divine justice and authority. The inclusion of the stoning of Moses and Aaron in the title, though not directly represented in the visual narrative, alludes to the broader context of challenges to their leadership.

Botticelli's mastery in composition and his ability to convey complex narratives is evident in this work. The fresco is celebrated for its dynamic figures, dramatic expressions, and the detailed depiction of the biblical story, showcasing Botticelli's skill in bringing religious narratives to life. The artwork also reflects the political and religious context of its time, serving not only as a religious representation but also as a commentary on the authority of the Papacy.

"The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron" remains a testament to Botticelli's prowess as a painter of religious subjects and his contribution to the artistic legacy of the Sistine Chapel. Through this fresco, Botticelli not only narrates a biblical story but also explores themes of leadership, rebellion, and divine retribution, making it a significant work in the study of Renaissance art and religious imagery.
