EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Touch me not" we are transported back to the 19th century, where an English School artist masterfully captures a poignant biblical scene. The image depicts a moment from "The Life of Jesus Christ" by John Fleetwood, published in 1870. At the center of the composition stands Jesus Christ himself, radiating divine light and serenity. His outstretched hand seems to gently ward off any physical contact, while his eyes convey both compassion and profound wisdom. This particular scene portrays the resurrection of Christ, emphasizing his miraculous triumph over death. The title "Touch me not" alludes to the Latin phrase "Noli mi tangere" which translates to "do not touch me". It references a powerful biblical episode when Mary Magdalene encounters the resurrected Jesus in a garden tomb after his crucifixion. In this encounter, he instructs her not to cling onto him physically but rather embrace him spiritually. This mesmerizing artwork beautifully encapsulates both religious devotion and artistic skill. Through its intricate details and evocative portrayal of emotions, it invites viewers into an intimate connection with one of Christianity's most significant events - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but be moved by its timeless message: that faith transcends physical boundaries and connects us directly with divinity itself.
