"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is a renowned painting by the Italian artist Sebastiano del Piombo, who was a notable figure of the High Renaissance and early Mannerist periods. Created in the early 16th century, this artwork exemplifies del Piombo's mastery in combining the coloristic brilliance of the Venetian school, where he initially trained, with the monumental forms he later absorbed in Rome under the influence of Michelangelo.

The painting depicts a scene from the biblical narrative found in Exodus 2:16-21, 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 during the Renaissance, symbolizing the virtues of bravery, chivalry, and divine providence. In del Piombo's interpretation, Moses is typically shown as a heroic figure, asserting his strength and moral fortitude to safeguard the vulnerable women.

Sebastiano del Piombo's work on this theme is characterized by its dramatic composition, robust figures, and a powerful sense of movement, which reflects the influence of his contemporaries, particularly Michelangelo. The painting's exact date is uncertain, but art historians often place its creation during del Piombo's Roman period, which began in 1511 when he moved to the city and encountered the works of Michelangelo and Raphael.

"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro" is notable for its fusion of the Venetian use of color with the Roman emphasis on sculptural form. Del Piombo's technique involved the use of oil paint on stone, a method that he pioneered, which allowed for a rich, luminous quality and a well-preserved state over the centuries.

While the current location of the original painting is not specified in this introduction, it is a significant work within del Piombo's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical relevance. The painting is an important example of the cross-pollination of regional styles during the Renaissance and showcases del Piombo's unique position as a bridge between the Venetian and Roman artistic traditions.
