This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Heroines of the New Testament: The Woman Taken in Adultery" by Jan Saenredam, a renowned Dutch artist from the late 16th century. Through his masterful engraving technique, Saenredam brings to life an evocative scene that resonates with timeless themes of forgiveness and redemption. The image depicts a pivotal moment from biblical lore when Jesus encounters a woman accused of adultery. With great compassion and wisdom, he challenges her accusers, ultimately offering forgiveness instead of condemnation.

This print allows us to appreciate not only his technical skill but also his ability to convey profound human emotions through art. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction of one of history's most compelling stories, we are reminded of our own capacity for empathy and forgiveness—a testament to the enduring relevance of these heroines' tales within our
