"Cristo e l'adultera" (Christ and the Adulteress) is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Ercole Setti, created in the 16th century. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John (8:3-11) where Jesus encounters a woman accused of adultery and challenges those without sin to cast the first stone. Setti's interpretation of this scene is a testament to his skill in capturing human emotion and the dramatic tension of the moment.

Ercole Setti, born in Parma around 1530 and active until his death in 1617, was a painter and draughtsman who worked primarily in his native city and was influenced by the work of Parmigianino and Correggio. His works are characterized by their refined elegance and often contain allegorical or mythological themes. "Cristo e l'adultera" is a prime example of Setti's artistic style, showcasing his ability to blend religious narrative with the sophisticated aesthetics of the Mannerist period.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of the figures and the use of light and shadow to convey the gravity of the scene. Setti's composition draws the viewer's attention to the central figures of Christ and the adulteress, while the accusers and onlookers are depicted with a range of expressions that add to the narrative complexity of the work. The artwork is a study in contrasts, with the divine mercy of Christ juxtaposed against the harsh judgment of the scribes and Pharisees.

"Cristo e l'adultera" is not only an important work in Setti's oeuvre but also a valuable piece within the broader context of Mannerist painting in Italy. It reflects the religious and cultural themes of the time while demonstrating the artist's mastery of form, composition, and the human figure. The painting is housed in a notable collection or museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
