Noli Me Tangere


Noli Me Tangere

This is one of my favourite pictures. It is a fresco on the wall of the monastery of San Marco, one of several painted in the monks dormitory. I like it partly because it depicts Christ as a gardener (yes, that seems to be a mattock he is holding), also for the beautiful colours of the fresco and the expressive pose and gestures of the two figures.
