Noli me tangere (1524)
Jesus recoils when Mary Magdalene wants to
touch him: Noli me tangere – touch me not. In the Gospel of Matthew Mary
grasps Jesus by the feet. It is assumed that the text was not
translated properly from the Greek (ref. Titian's version).
In the background John and Peter (r.) hurry back after having found the grave empty.

Holbein may have painted this panel while in France, trying to get a position at the court of Francis I.
