The Punishment of Korah, Dathan and Abiram 1481

Sandro Botticelli's "The Punishment of Korah, Dathan and Abiram" (1481) is a fresco located in the Vatican Museums depicting the biblical story of Korah's rebellion against Moses. The artwork portrays the moment when the earth opens up and swallows Korah, Dathan and Abiram, as well as their followers, for their defiance. This fresco exemplifies Botticelli's early style with its use of vibrant colors and strong lines. The detailed depiction of the scene, with a large crowd of figures and a dramatic landscape, captures the tension and fear of the event.
