"Christus und die Ehebrecherin" (Christ and the Adulteress) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Georg Pencz, who was active during the early to mid-16th century. Pencz, a painter and engraver, was part of the Nuremberg school and is often associated with the Little Masters, a group of German printmakers known for their small, finely detailed works.

The artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John, where Jesus confronts the Pharisees and scribes who bring before him a woman accused of adultery. According to the narrative, they challenge Jesus, asking whether the woman should be stoned as prescribed by Mosaic Law. In response, Jesus famously states, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," leading to the accusers dispersing and Jesus telling the woman to "go, and sin no more."

Pencz's interpretation of this scene is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and composition, characteristic of his engravings. The figures are arranged in a dynamic yet balanced composition, capturing the tension and drama of the moment. The expressions and gestures of the characters are carefully crafted to convey the moral and emotional weight of the encounter.

The work exemplifies Pencz's skill in engraving, showcasing his ability to create intricate lines and textures that bring depth and realism to the scene. His use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, making the scene more vivid and engaging.

"Christus und die Ehebrecherin" reflects the broader themes of mercy, judgment, and redemption, central to the Christian narrative. It also highlights Pencz's engagement with religious subjects, a common practice among artists of his time, who often drew upon biblical stories to explore complex human emotions and ethical dilemmas.

This engraving is an important example of Pencz's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the artistic and cultural milieu of the German Renaissance. It remains a significant piece for both its artistic merit and its depiction of a pivotal biblical episode.
