The Woman Taken in Adultery, 1520s by Lorenzo Lotto. The story of the woman taken in adultery is found only in the Gospel of John. In the story, Jesus was teaching in the Temple in Jerusalem.

But the censor did not allow these words to be included in the catalogue, but allowed 'Christ and the woman caught in adultery', because that was the name of other paintings, and then in the museum it was called 'The Prodigal Woman', which was completely contrary to the Gospel story, which clearly says that it is a woman who has sinned.
