EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Valerio Belli's masterpiece, "Noli Me Tangere". Created in the 16th century, this bronze relief carving depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Book of John. The central figures are none other than Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, capturing a profound moment of their encounter after Christ's resurrection. The oval-shaped medallion beautifully captures the emotion and intensity of this sacred interaction. In vivid color and intricate detail, Belli skillfully portrays Jesus as he gently gestures for Mary Magdalene to release her hold on him with his iconic words "Noli Me Tangere" meaning "cease holding on to me" in Latin. Both male and female figures are depicted in this artwork, symbolizing the universal significance of this religious event. A man is seen kneeling beside Jesus while a woman stands behind him, representing humanity's collective awe and reverence for Christ's divine presence. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece exemplifies Belli's mastery as an Italian artist during the Renaissance period. With its rich heritage artistry and deep-rooted Christian symbolism, "Noli Me Tangere" continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message of faith and spiritual awakening. Valerio Belli has left an indelible mark on art history through his remarkable sculpture that beautifully encapsulates one of Christianity's most significant moments.
