EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century miniature painting, created by the talented Italian miniaturist Cristoforo de Predis, depicts a poignant episode from the Bible: Jesus admonishing the adulteress to sin no more. The scene unfolds in a serene setting, with Jesus standing before the woman, who is shown kneeling in front of him, tears streaming down her face. The backdrop is a simple, stone building, possibly a temple or a church, symbolizing the sacredness of the moment. Jesus, with a compassionate and understanding expression, reaches out to touch the woman's shoulder, imparting his message of forgiveness and redemption. The other disciples, gathered around, look on with curiosity and awe, underscoring the significance of this event. The woman clutches a Bible, open to the relevant passage, emphasizing the biblical basis for Jesus' actions. This miniature is a beautiful example of devotional art from the European Renaissance. It was created as part of a larger work, "Stories of Saint Joachim, Saint Anne, Virgin Mary, Jesus, the Baptist and the End of the World," written by Galeazzo Maria Sforza in 1476. The Royal Library in Turin, Italy, is the current home of this precious artwork, which continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate details and profound message.
