Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery

This engraving was executed after Giulio Romano and dedicated to Eleonora of Austria, wife of Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, and Duchess of Mantua. The composition is a copy after one of the tapestries Raphael and his workshop designed for the Sistine Chapel. The Gonzaga family was one of the private parties who bought a set of the tapestries for their own palace, woven from the same drawings as the papal originals.
