Noli me Tangere
1630 - 1635. Oil on canvas.Not on display
As depicted here, the encounter between Mary Magdalene and the resurrected Christ follows a composition by Dürer. Characteristic of this painter, born in Madrid and trained in Rome, are the human types, the Caravaggesque influence on the colouring and light, and the landscape deriving from Bolognese classicism. The frame is of the Tuscan and Emilian type of the first half of the seventeenth century, with fleshy acanthus leaves on the central division.
