This painting, "Noli Me Tangere," by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, depicts the biblical scene of the resurrected Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene. In the foreground, Christ, dressed in blue and holding a shovel, turns away from Mary Magdalene, who kneels before him in an emotional gesture. This scene, steeped in religious symbolism, showcases Poussin's mastery of composition and realism. Mary Magdalene's vibrant purple robe contrasts with Christ's calmer blue, emphasizing the powerful emotional tension of the moment.
