About the piece

Painted by Luca Giordano around 1686, this Baroque masterpiece captures the poignant moment of 'Noli me tangere' (Touch me not). Christ is depicted as a gardener, as described in the Gospel of John, while Mary Magdalene reaches out in recognition amidst a landscape bathed in atmospheric, divine light and dramatic clouds.
