"The Woman Taken in Adultery" is a 1621 oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. This artwork is a representation of the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (8:1-11), where Jesus is presented with a woman caught in the act of adultery and challenged to pass judgment on her. Guercino's interpretation of the scene is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the tenebrism style that was influential during the Baroque period.

In the painting, Guercino captures the pivotal moment when Jesus confronts the accusers with the statement, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." The composition focuses on the figures' expressions and the emotional intensity of the encounter. The woman, shown with a humble and penitent demeanor, is contrasted with the stern and accusatory gestures of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus is depicted as a calm and authoritative presence, his gesture and gaze conveying a sense of compassion and divine wisdom.

Guercino's mastery in rendering the human form and his ability to convey complex psychological states are evident in this work. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the moral and spiritual themes of the narrative. The painting is a prime example of Guercino's early work and reflects the influence of Caravaggio's naturalism, which Guercino adapted to his own more classical and idealized approach.

"The Woman Taken in Adultery" is considered an important work in Guercino's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of Baroque art and its thematic preoccupations with virtue, sin, and redemption. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the appreciation of Guercino's artistic legacy.
