Giotto's *Resurrection (Noli me tangere)*, painted in 1306 for the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, depicts the biblical scene of Christ's resurrection. The fresco shows Jesus emerging from the tomb, with two angels seated on the tomb, while Mary Magdalene kneels before him. The fresco is notable for its realism and naturalism, evident in the figures' expressive poses and the landscape's detailed depiction. Giotto's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the emotional impact of the scene. This masterpiece is a defining example of the early Renaissance, showcasing the movement's shift toward naturalism and humanist ideals.
