About Artwork: (Perhaps 1460-1550) "According to the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene wept when she saw that the tomb in which Christ had been buried was empty. A man appeared and asked her why she was crying – she eventually recognised him as Christ, and reached out to touch him. He stopped her: ‘Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father’. Noli me tangere is Latin for ‘Do not touch me’. A vine, rich with grapes, encircles the pruned branches of a large tree, creating an elaborate arch that frames Christ’s slender figure. The grapes symbolise the wine – thought to transform into Christ’s blood – drunk by Christians at Mass in memory of Christ’s death and resurrection. This panel is one of a group of three resurrection scenes, all in our collection, painted by an artist in imitation of Mantegna’s style." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
