"Appearance to Mary Magdalene (Noli me tangere)" is a significant work of religious art by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created between 1308 and 1311. This piece forms part of the Maestà, a monumental altarpiece that was originally commissioned for the cathedral of Siena, Italy. The Maestà is renowned for its complex narrative scenes depicting the life of Christ, and "Appearance to Mary Magdalene" is one of the many panels that illustrate the post-resurrection episodes.

The scene captures the poignant moment described in the Gospel of John (20:17), where Mary Magdalene, having discovered the empty tomb, encounters the risen Christ. Mistaking him for a gardener, she realizes his true identity when he speaks her name. Christ's words, "Noli me tangere," Latin for "Do not touch me" or "Do not hold on to me," are the focal point of the interaction, as he explains that he has not yet ascended to the Father.

Duccio's rendering of this encounter is notable for its emotional depth and the delicate interplay of gazes and gestures between the figures. The artist's use of color, composition, and light reflects the innovations of the Sienese School, which emphasized more naturalistic and expressive approaches to religious subjects compared to the more rigid Byzantine traditions that preceded it.

The "Appearance to Mary Magdalene (Noli me tangere)" panel is an exemplar of Duccio's mastery in storytelling through art, and it contributes to the understanding of the evolution of Italian painting in the early 14th century. The work is admired for its devotional impact as well as its artistic significance, and it remains an important piece for scholars studying the development of Western art and the representation of biblical narratives during the medieval period.
