"Scenes from the Life of Mary Magdalene: Noli me tangere" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, located in the Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, Italy. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes painted by Giotto in the chapel, which is widely considered one of his masterpieces and a seminal work of fourteenth-century art. The fresco cycle, completed around 1305, depicts various scenes from the lives of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and other biblical figures, contributing to the narrative that unfolds across the chapel's walls.

The "Noli me tangere" scene, which translates to "Touch me not" or "Do not cling to me," represents the moment described in the Gospel of John (20:17) when the resurrected Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene outside the tomb. In this poignant episode, Jesus speaks to Mary Magdalene, who initially mistakes him for the gardener, and upon recognizing him, reaches out to touch him. Jesus, however, instructs her not to hold on to him, as he has not yet ascended to the Father.

Giotto's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its emotional depth and humanism, characteristics that mark a departure from the more stylized and symbolic art of the Byzantine tradition. The fresco showcases Giotto's skill in depicting human emotion, the use of space, and his innovative approach to three-dimensionality. His figures are rendered with weight and volume, occupying a convincingly articulated architectural space that was revolutionary for its time.

The Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, including the "Noli me tangere" scene, have been the subject of extensive art historical research and conservation efforts. Giotto's work in the chapel is often cited as a precursor to the full flowering of Renaissance art and is considered crucial for understanding the development of Western painting. The frescoes have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting their significance in the canon of world art.
