Description: | According to the New Testament, Mary Magdalene mistook for a gardener the risen Christ, shown here holding a hoe. Mary Magdalene has fallen to her knees in honour of her lord, although he urges her not to touch him. The landscape background is a typical feature of Venetian devotional paintings of the early sixteenth century. Its intimate size indicates that the painting was made for a domestic setting rather than a church. This painting is usually associated with Girolamo da Santacroce, a Venetian artist who was influenced by Giovanni Bellini. | Subjects: | Magdalene Noli me Tangere) religion (Christ | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Santacroce, Girolamo da (Italian painter, born 1480-1485, died 1556) Æ Previously attributed to Girolamo dai Libri (Italian artist, ca. 1474-1555) Previously attributed to Santacroce, Francesco da, the younger (Italian painter, 1516-1584) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8893... | Go to resource |
