EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altarpiece of the Dominicans: Noli Me Tangere" by Martin Schongauer, a renowned German artist from the 15th century. Painted with oil on panel, this masterpiece dates back to around 1470-80 and is now housed in the Musee d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly Mary Magdalene, depicted kneeling before Jesus Christ in a garden setting. The scene captures a poignant moment known as "Noli Me Tangere" meaning "Touch me not" in Latin. Mary's expression reflects awe and reverence as she reaches out towards Jesus but is gently restrained by his gesture. Symbolism abounds within this composition - from the red cross flag representing martyrdom to the bluetit and goldfinch symbolizing resurrection. The red robe draped over Jesus signifies his divine nature while his halo radiates heavenly light. Schongauer's attention to detail is evident through every brushstroke, particularly seen in Mary Magdalene's delicate features and flowing robes. The lush greenery surrounding them adds depth to their encounter while also emphasizing the tranquility of this sacred space. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between two iconic figures. It serves as a reminder of faith, devotion, and spiritual enlightenment that transcends centuries.
