EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful biblical scene, depicting the encounter between Christ, an adulterous woman, and several Pharisees within the sacred walls of the temple. The tension in the air is palpable as these religious leaders bring forth a woman caught in adultery, seeking to test Christ's stance on the law of Moses that demands her stoning. In this moment frozen in time by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert's skilled hand in 1548 Netherlands, we witness Christ's profound wisdom unfold. With his finger gently tracing lines on the ground, he silently contemplates their question. As anticipation builds among those present, he utters words that resonate through centuries: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone". The composition beautifully captures both vulnerability and strength - from the accused woman standing before Christ with trepidation to the stern expressions etched upon each Pharisee's face. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for judgment and forgiveness. Through this image, we are invited to reflect upon our own moral compasses and confront our prejudices. It challenges us to consider whether we are truly qualified to pass judgment upon others when none among us can claim absolute purity. Coornhert masterfully brings this timeless narrative to life on paper with meticulous attention to detail and emotive brushstrokes. This print from Liszt Collection allows viewers today to immerse themselves in this thought-provoking tableau while appreciating its historical significance beyond commercial use
