"Kristus og ekteskapsbrytersken" (Christ and the Adulteress) is a painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist known for his contributions to both religious and secular art. Cranach, who was a close friend of Martin Luther, often incorporated themes of morality and redemption into his works, reflecting the religious tensions of his time.

This particular painting depicts the biblical story from the Gospel of John, where Jesus encounters a woman accused of adultery. The scene is set in a public space, with Jesus at the center, calmly addressing the accusers and the woman. Cranach captures the moment when Jesus challenges those without sin to cast the first stone, highlighting themes of mercy and forgiveness. The composition is typical of Cranach's style, with elongated figures and a focus on expressive faces that convey the emotional weight of the narrative.

Cranach's use of color and detail draws the viewer's attention to the central figures, while the surrounding crowd is rendered with less emphasis, creating a sense of depth and focus. The painting reflects Cranach's skill in blending Northern Renaissance attention to detail with a humanist approach to storytelling.

The artwork is notable for its moral and theological implications, illustrating the tension between justice and compassion. It serves as a visual representation of the transformative power of forgiveness, a theme that resonated deeply during the Reformation period.

Cranach's "Christ and the Adulteress" is housed in various collections, with several versions attributed to his workshop, indicating its popularity and the demand for such moralistic themes during his lifetime. The painting remains an important example of Cranach's ability to convey complex religious narratives through art, contributing to his legacy as a master of the Northern Renaissance.
