"Christ and the Adulteress" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti, who was active during the 17th century. The artwork depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (8:3-11), where Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and scribes with a woman accused of adultery. In this scene, Jesus challenges her accusers with the famous line, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," leading to her accusers dispersing and Jesus absolving the woman.

Mattia Preti, also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese (The Knight of Calabria), was renowned for his dynamic compositions, dramatic use of light and shadow, and his ability to convey deep emotion and humanity in his religious subjects. "Christ and the Adulteress" is a prime example of Preti's mature style, showcasing his skillful handling of chiaroscuro and his expressive brushwork.

The painting is significant for its interpretation of the theme, its artistic qualities, and its place within Preti's oeuvre. It has been studied for its theological implications as well as its stylistic relationship to the works of Caravaggio, whose influence is evident in Preti's dramatic lighting and realistic depiction of figures.

"Christ and the Adulteress" by Mattia Preti is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within the Baroque period for its artistic merit and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal New Testament narrative. The painting is a testament to Preti's ability to blend naturalism with spiritual depth, creating a powerful and enduring image that resonates with viewers across the centuries.
