This engraving, *Noli me tangere*, depicts the biblical story of Mary Magdalene encountering Jesus after his resurrection. The scene is set in a garden, as Jesus, with his hand outstretched in a gesture of warning, tells Mary, "Touch me not". Created in 1586 by Julius Goltzius, a prominent Dutch engraver, the artwork showcases his mastery of detail and the use of light and shadow. It is now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the religious and artistic trends of the 16th century.
