Noli Me Tangere 

Giuseppe Maria Crespi's "Noli Me Tangere" depicts the biblical moment after Jesus' resurrection when Mary Magdalene mistakes him for a gardener. A dramatic chiaroscuro creates a moody atmosphere, emphasizing the intimate encounter. The viewer is drawn to the powerful gestures of Mary Magdalene, who reaches out to touch Jesus, while Jesus's outstretched hand appears to gently push her away. This painting, a testament to Crespi's mastery of Baroque style, showcases his ability to render emotion and detail with great realism.
