Painting Description
''He That Is Without Sin'' (Russian: "Без греха") is an oil painting by the Russian artist Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov, created in 1888. The painting is part of Polenov's series of works on biblical themes and is considered one of his most significant contributions to Russian art. It depicts the New Testament episode of the woman taken in adultery, as described in the Gospel of John, where Jesus challenges the scribes and Pharisees with the words, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
In the painting, Polenov focuses on the dramatic and moral tension of the scene. The composition is notable for its masterful use of light and shadow, which not only highlights the figures but also contributes to the emotional depth of the narrative. The central figure of Jesus is portrayed with a calm and compassionate demeanor, contrasting with the agitated crowd of accusers. The woman, while not the central figure in the composition, is depicted with a sense of vulnerability and repentance.
Vasily Polenov, a member of the Peredvizhniki (Wanderers) movement, was known for his innovative approach to biblical subjects, often emphasizing the human and ethical aspects of the stories over the traditional iconographic elements. "He That Is Without Sin" is a prime example of Polenov's humanistic interpretation of religious themes, which resonated with the social and artistic movements of his time.
The painting is held in high esteem for its artistic qualities and its thought-provoking portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian scripture. It is part of the collection of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for both art historians and the general public.
