About the piece

Created around 1707 by Alessandro Magnasco, this evocative work captures the 'Noli Me Tangere' moment between Mary Magdalene and the risen Christ. Magnasco’s signature flickering brushwork and mastery of light and shadow are on full display, framed by the skeletal remains of classical architecture that lend the scene a grand, melancholic depth.
