EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Moreau's masterpiece, "Christ and Mary Magdalene (Noli Me Tangere)" painted around 1889. The oil on panel painting measures 81.2 x 64.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this biblical scene, we witness the tender encounter between Christ and Mary Magdalene after his resurrection. Mary kneels before Jesus, her hands gently reaching out towards him with a gesture of reverence and supplication. Her face reflects both awe and devotion as she implores for his healing touch. Moreau's artistic prowess shines through in this composition, capturing the emotional depth of the moment with remarkable skill. The French artist masterfully portrays the symbolism of communication between these two iconic figures from the New Testament. The outdoor setting adds to the ethereal ambiance of the painting, as sunlight filters through lush foliage, casting a soft glow upon their faces. The nimbus surrounding Christ's head signifies his divine nature while emphasizing his role as Savior. Through this artwork, Moreau invites us to contemplate themes of faith, redemption, and human connection within religious narratives. His meticulous attention to detail brings these characters to life on canvas, leaving an indelible impression on viewers. "Christ and Mary Magdalene (Noli Me Tangere)" stands as a testament to Moreau's profound talent as well as his ability to convey spiritual significance through artistry that transcends time.
