The aim of this paper is to present the methods of depicting the act of persuasion on the picture in the background of the speech act theory. The analysis is based on the examples of Italian paintings from 16th and 17th century that are showing the scene of Christ meeting the adulteress. Firstly, the sequence of speech acts drawn from the text of the Gospel of saint John has been decoded. Furtherly, it was shown which of them had been chosen by the artists and how they had managed to transform the text into the painting using such tools as color, light and shade valor, and the direction of lines that organizes the composition. The conclusion is as follows: the act of persuasion can be easily recognized in painting not only due to the expressions of the faces of the protagonists of the scene and their gestures but as well due to the pure pictorial elements like the diagonal lines and strong contrast between light and shade.
