"Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro della Vecchia, also known as Pietro Muttoni. This artwork depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (8:3–11), where Jesus is presented with a woman caught in the act of adultery and challenged to pass judgment on her. In accordance with the Mosaic Law, the punishment for adultery was death by stoning, and the Pharisees used this situation to test Jesus, hoping to trap him into saying something they could use against him. Instead, Jesus famously responded, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," prompting the accusers to leave one by one.

Della Vecchia's interpretation of this scene is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. The painting is a prime example of the tenebrist style that was popular during the Baroque period, characterized by stark contrasts between light and dark, which serve to heighten the emotional impact of the scene.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the mid-17th century, a period during which della Vecchia was known to have produced numerous religious works. The artist's style was heavily influenced by the Venetian school, and he was particularly known for his ability to emulate the styles of other artists, including the great Venetian master, Titian.

"Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" is a testament to della Vecchia's skill in capturing complex human emotions and his mastery of chiaroscuro. The painting invites viewers to reflect on themes of mercy, judgment, and redemption. While the current location of the original painting is not specified in this introduction, it remains an important work within della Vecchia's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of Baroque religious art.
