Lorenzo Lotto - Cristo e l’adultera

 

Cristo e l’adultera, 1548- 1550 

Dell'opera si è negata a lungo la paternità lottesca, arrivando ad ipotizzare che si tratti di una copia eseguita da aiuti.??L'adultera, conserva nella flagranza del reato una sua purezza soprattutto se paragonata  alla volgarità delle espressioni dei personaggi che la circondano. Uno solo, ormai vecchio, invita al silenzio. ?Fa argine alla folla scomposta il gesto deciso del Cristo che con il braccio destro alzato ripara la donna, mentre con la mano sinistra conduce il segno rovesciato della benedizione con le dita rivolte verso il basso.
