Noli me tangere

 Noli me Tangere
Ticiano
ca. 1514
National Gallery

"Risen from the dead, Christ appears to his grieving follower, Mary Magdalene, in the Garden of Gethsemane. At first she mistakes him for a gardener but then reaches out her hand in wonder. Christ says, ‘Do not touch me’ (in Latin, noli me tangere); it is time for his followers to let go of his earthly presence and await the Holy Ghost (John 20: 14–18). The focus of the picture is on the interplay of gesture and gaze between Christ and Mary Magdalene." daqui
