"Noli Me Tangere; And The Incredulity of Saint Thomas" is a renowned painting by the German artist Anton Raphael Mengs, created in the 18th century. As a prominent figure of the Neoclassical movement, Mengs was known for his ability to blend the grandeur of the High Renaissance with the clarity and rigor of Neoclassicism. This painting is a significant example of his mastery in handling religious subjects with a delicate balance of emotion and restraint.

The artwork depicts two biblical scenes in a single composition. On one side, it illustrates the moment from the Gospel of John (20:17) when the resurrected Jesus Christ appears to Mary Magdalene, known as "Noli Me Tangere" or "Touch Me Not." This phrase refers to Jesus' words to Mary when she recognizes him after his resurrection and reaches out to touch him. Jesus' gesture and the expression convey the sacredness of the moment and the transition from earthly to divine existence.

On the other side of the painting, Mengs portrays "The Incredulity of Saint Thomas," a scene from the Gospel of John (20:24-29) where the apostle Thomas, who doubted the resurrection of Jesus, is invited by Christ to touch his wounds. This moment captures Thomas's transformation from doubt to belief, a powerful testament to faith and the physical evidence of the resurrection.

Mengs' work is characterized by its harmonious composition, the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the drama of the scenes, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The painting is a testament to Mengs' skill in conveying complex theological ideas through art and his influence on the development of religious painting in the Neoclassical period.

The painting is considered an important work in Mengs' oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of religious art in the context of the Enlightenment, where reason and emotion were often seen as opposing forces. "Noli Me Tangere; And The Incredibility of Saint Thomas" bridges this divide, offering a nuanced exploration of faith, doubt, and the human experience of the divine.
