Painting Description
"Christ and Mary Magdalene (Noli Me Tangere)" is a significant work by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. Painted in 1886, the artwork is a depiction of the poignant Biblical interchange between the resurrected Jesus and Mary Magdalene, as described in the 20th chapter of the John's Gospel. The title 'Noli Me Tangere' translates as 'Touch Me Not' in Latin.
Gustave Moreau, renowned for his mystical and symbol-laden paintings, imbues this artwork with an ethereal quality. The depiction is a departure from traditional ones, laying emphasis on the spiritual connection between Christ and Mary, rather than on realistic portrayal. The painting alludes to the crucial moment in Christian theology when Mary Magdalene recognizes the resurrected Christ, thereby connecting the motif of resurrection with recognition and spiritual revelation.
The painting provides a vista of Moreau's trademark features: extensive symbolism, vibrant colors, and mythological elements. Mary Magdalene, shown near Christ's feet, symbolizes the human soul yearning for divine intimacy. Christ, on the other hand, is portrayed as the embodiment of divine wisdom, appearing semi-transparent to underscore his etherealness post-resurrection.
"Christ and Mary Magdalene (Noli Me Tangere)" is housed in the Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris. It remains an exemplar of Moreau’s pivot towards Symbolism in the late 19th century. As with many of Moreau's works, it transcends conventional aesthetic boundaries, offering viewers a multi-layered, symbolic narrative that continues to be subject to varied interpretation.
