Noli me Tangere

Albrecht Altdorfer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a natural landscape with two figures. The scene includes hills, trees, and mountains. In the foreground, one figure stands holding a staff and gesturing with their hand. They are surrounded by rays around their head. Another figure sits nearby, partially covered in draped fabric, looking up at the standing figure. The landscape appears to balance human presence with nature. The drawing is detailed and dynamic, with cross-hatching and linear elements adding depth and texture.
