{"product_id":"noli-me-tangere-gerard-de-jode","title":"Noli Me Tangere - Gerard de Jode","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed hand-coloured engraving by Gerard de Jode depicting the biblical Noli Me Tangere scene set within a formal sixteenth-century garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured engraving by Gerard de Jode depicts the biblical encounter between the resurrected Christ and Mary Magdalene. The scene is set within a structured, walled garden, a common motif in sixteenth-century Netherlandish art that blends theological narrative with contemporary horticultural design. Christ is shown holding a spade, a visual reference to the Gospel of John where Mary Magdalene initially mistakes him for a gardener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Jode, a prominent cartographer and printmaker based in Antwerp, produced this work as part of a larger series illustrating biblical events. The composition follows the conventions of the period, placing the figures in the foreground while a detailed townscape occupies the distance. The use of colour, applied by hand to the original monochrome engraving, adds a layer of descriptive detail to the garments and the surrounding flora. The Latin inscription at the base provides the scriptural context for the meeting, while the French text below offers a translation for the reader, reflecting the multilingual nature of the print market in the Low Countries during the late sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figures are rendered with a focus on clear, legible gestures. Mary Magdalene kneels in a posture of reverence, her gaze fixed upon Christ, who stands with a calm, authoritative presence. The garden itself is divided into geometric beds, demonstrating the influence of formal garden planning on the visual arts of the era. The print serves as a record of both the religious iconography and the aesthetic preferences of the Northern Renaissance, capturing a moment of transition between the medieval tradition and the emerging naturalism of the Dutch Golden Age. This piece is a fine example of the technical precision found in Antwerp print workshops, where collaboration between engravers and publishers was essential to the dissemination of religious imagery across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/abrahams-sacrifice-albrecht-altdorfer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAbraham's Sacrifice - Albrecht Altdorfer — Albrecht Altdorfer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-ascension-of-christ-jean-fouquet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Ascension of Christ - Jean Fouquet — Jean Fouquet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gerard de Jode","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414456701263,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414456766799,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414456865103,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414456897871,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414456963407,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Noli-Me-Tangere_Poster_CompositorV1_1786122060633.jpg?v=1786122247","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/noli-me-tangere-gerard-de-jode","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
