NOLI ME TANGERE

First half of the 19th century
A typical depiction of the well-known motif of the encounter between the resurrected Christ and Mary Magdalene. Based on 17th-century models, this painting presents the popular subject with artistic confidence, in a salon or cabinet format suitable for a private gallery of an educated collector. The style of the figures, format, and technique suggest a likely Central European origin. Oil on canvas, 46,5 x 38 cm (61,6 x 55,5 cm), unsigned. Framed. Framed in an original Baroque frame.
