Russia: 'Appearance of Jesus Christ to Maria Magdalena'/'Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not)'. Oil on canvas painting by Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov (28 July 1806 - 16 July 1858), c. 1835. Mary Magdalene was one of Jesus' most celebrated disciples, and the most important woman disciple in the movement of Jesus. Jesus cleansed her of 'seven demons', Luke 8:2 Mark 16:9 conventionally interpreted as referring to complex illnesses. She became most prominent during his last days, being present at the cross after the male disciples (excepting John the Beloved) had fled, and at his burial.

A.Boecklin/Lamentation of Christ/1876

The Lord's Prayer (Le "Pater Noster") James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Lord's Prayer (Le "Pater Noster"), 1886-1896. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 1/2 x 6 7/16 in. (21.6 x 16.4 cm). Gathered around Jesus, the disciples ask him to teach them to pray. With arms opened wide and hands upraised in a gesture of humility, Jesus begins his prayer with an acknowledgment of Gods power in heaven and on earth. (Tissot places Jesus between the color-streaked sky and the ground on which his disciples sit, further signifying Jesus place between the human and the divine.) This invocation became the foundational prayer for his followers. European Art 1886-1896

Woman, Behold Thy Son (Stabat Mater) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Woman, Behold Thy Son (Stabat Mater), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 11 11/16 x 6 in. (29.7 x 15.2 cm). As time passed at Golgotha, the sky grew darker, frightening away many of the observers but permitting those in Jesus immediate circle, who had initially kept themselves at a safe distance, to approach, and even to touch his feet. Mary Magdalene hugs the cross. Jesus—facing away and hidden by the beams of the cross—acknowledges the sufferings of his mother, and seeing John standing nearby, he urges her to look to the apostle for comfort, saying, “Woman, behold thy son!” He also urges John to care for the Virgin as part of his own family, saying to him, “Behold, thy mother!” European Art 1886-1894

The Descent from the Cross (La descent de croix) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Descent from the Cross (La descent de croix), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 13 1/4 x 9 9/16 in. (33.7 x 24.3 cm). In an image that recalls centuries of precedents, Christs loved ones have gathered to draw down his body for burial. Each nail is carefully removed, Tissot explains, before the legs are swathed in linen and the body, held in a long band of material, is slowly lowered into the upraised arms of the Virgin Mary, who is clad in blue. She is joined by the Magdalene, who once more wipes the feet of Jesus, and Saint John the Evangelist, who stands at the foot of the cross holding the shroud with which Jesus will be wrapped.
