Open a larger version of the following image in a popup: An oil painting illustrating the biblical passage in which a woman accused of adultery—an offence punishable by death in Mosaic law—is brought before Christ. Christ reaches from the lower left-hand side of the canvas across the crowd of men and points at an older man in orange while a woman in white clutches another figure. Christ declares that all those who even briefly consider the idea of adultery but do not act on it are as guilty as the woman, whom he dismissed, telling her not to sin again.
