The artwork titled “Noli Me Tangere” was created by Frank Mason in the year 1992. This piece is a notable example of the Classical Realism movement and falls within the genre of religious painting.
In the artwork, a central figure, who appears to be Christ dressed in a flowing white robe, stands with one arm raised, seemingly in a gesture of address or benediction. He is surrounded by a solemn atmosphere, which is enhanced by the softly blurred contoured lines and the muted palette of earthy tones. To the left are two robed figures, likely Mary Magdalene and another woman, who are positioned in a reverent stance directed toward Christ, their faces turned towards Him in attentiveness. The background is majestically illustrated with a dark, cave-like enclosure that ascends towards the pointed arch at the top, adding to the mystical aura of the scene. The intricate interplay of light and shadow in the painting creates a hauntingly sacred ambiance, reflecting the spiritual significance of the moment depicted.
