"Christ and the Adulteress" (1532) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, who was a prominent painter, printmaker, and engraver of the early 16th century. This painting is one of several interpretations Cranach created on the biblical theme of the adulteress brought before Jesus, an episode narrated in the Gospel of John (John 7:53-8:11). The work is exemplary of Cranach's mature style, characterized by his refined use of color, detailed figures, and a composition that combines both religious narrative and contemporary elements.

The painting depicts the moment when Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and scribes with a woman accused of adultery, seeking to trap him into defying Mosaic Law. Jesus responds with the famous line, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," which is central to the moral and theological message of the artwork. Cranach's interpretation is particularly noted for its portrayal of the figures' expressions and the intricate details of their clothing, reflecting the fashion of Cranach's time, which adds a layer of temporal immediacy to the scene.

Measuring 82.5 cm × 121 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on limewood panel, a medium Cranach frequently employed. The painting is currently housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. "Christ and the Adulteress" is a significant example of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with biblical subjects, showcasing Cranach's skill in blending spiritual themes with the humanist ideas of his era. The work is also an important reflection of the artist's close ties with the Protestant Reformation, as Cranach was a friend and supporter of Martin Luther, and his art often echoed the reformist sentiments of the period.
