"Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" is a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a renowned Flemish Renaissance artist known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. Completed in 1565, this work is a masterful representation of the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (8:3-11), where Jesus is presented with a woman accused of adultery and challenged to pass judgment on her. Bruegel's interpretation of this scene is notable for its intricate detail, vivid characterization, and moral complexity.

The painting, executed in oil on panel, measures 24.1 cm by 34.2 cm, and is part of the permanent collection of the Courtauld Gallery in London. It showcases Bruegel's skill in depicting human figures and his ability to convey narrative through composition and gesture. The scene is set in a gloomy interior, where the figures of Christ and the accused woman are surrounded by a group of scribes and Pharisees. The accusers' self-righteous expressions contrast with the humble demeanor of the woman and the calm authority of Christ, who, according to the biblical account, challenges anyone without sin to cast the first stone.

Bruegel's work is distinguished by its attention to the human condition and the social commentary embedded within the religious narrative. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his careful arrangement of figures, guides the viewer's attention to the central moral lesson of the story: the call for compassion and the avoidance of hypocritical judgment.

"Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" is considered an important work in Bruegel's oeuvre, reflecting his engagement with religious themes and his unique approach to storytelling through visual art. The painting is a testament to Bruegel's reputation as one of the leading artists of the 16th century and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
