{"product_id":"noli-me-tangere-raphael-morghen","title":"Noli me tangere - Raphael Morghen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed Neoclassical engraving by Raphael Morghen depicting the biblical Noli me tangere, showcasing technical mastery of line and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Raphael Morghen depicts the biblical encounter between the resurrected Christ and Mary Magdalene. The scene, known as Noli me tangere, captures the moment Christ instructs Mary not to touch him. Morghen, a master of the burin, employs precise line work to render the anatomical forms and the soft drapery of the figures. The composition is structured around the central interaction, with Christ positioned to the left and Mary kneeling in a gesture of reverence to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background features an architectural opening that reveals a distant cityscape, providing a sense of depth and scale. Morghen uses varied hatching techniques to create tonal transitions, moving from the deep shadows of the interior to the lighter, atmospheric qualities of the exterior view. The foreground includes symbolic elements, such as the tools of the trade and botanical details, which ground the scene in a physical reality while maintaining the solemnity of the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaphael Morghen was a significant figure in the history of printmaking, known for his ability to translate complex paintings into the medium of engraving. His work often focused on reproducing the compositions of Old Masters, bringing these images to a wider audience during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This print demonstrates his technical control, particularly in the rendering of light and texture. The inclusion of the papal coat of arms and the Latin inscription at the base indicates the work was produced under high patronage, reflecting the status of printmaking as a medium for both artistic reproduction and official commemoration during this period. The print remains a clear example of the Neoclassical approach to religious narrative, prioritising clarity, balance, and technical precision.\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=\"\/products\/the-sibyl-antonio-perfetti\" 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 Sibyl - Antonio Perfetti — Antonio Perfetti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sibylla-persica-domenico-cunego\" 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;\"\u003eSibylla Persica - Domenico Cunego — Domenico Cunego\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Raffaello Sanzio Morghen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502075908431,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502100648271,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502100681039,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502100713807,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502100746575,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502100779343,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502100812111,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502100844879,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502100877647,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502100910415,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502100943183,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502100975951,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Noli-me-tangere_Poster_CompositorV1_1786419815672.jpg?v=1787011866","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/noli-me-tangere-raphael-morghen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
