Noli Me Tangere [verso] is a 1600 ink by German 16th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a ghostly figure with outstretched arms reaching toward a man dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man stands firmly, one hand on his hip, the other holding something small. Behind them, a dark, rocky landscape stretches out, with a faint building in the distance and swirling clouds above. The ghost’s see-through wings and the man’s serious expression give the scene a tense, almost dramatic feel. The artist used ink and gray wash to create deep shadows and textures, making everything look intense. Want to see more like this? Look up cross-hatching.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
