Works with religious themes play in the Dresdner treasury quantitatively a rather subordinate role.Among the finest examples, the fine copy belongs to the "Noli Me Tangere" which was "Hoff Joubelier delivered Ding Lingern" 1725-1733. It is dedicated to an episode from the Gospel of John (20, 14-17): the resurrected Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene that keeps him at first for a gardener until he gives her to recognize. His request not to touch him ( "Noli Me Tangere"), since he had not yet ascended to heaven, gave the famous scene its name. The carved blood coral figural group was most likely in the Sicilian town of Trapani, whose coral works were in demand throughout Europe. As adequate framework of precious preciousnesses is a stage-like architecture of gilded, decorated with precious stones silver. It is the Hofgoldarbeiter Georg Christoph Dinglinger, the youngest brother Johann Melchior attributed. The scene extensive ruin arch absorbs the grave vault respect, had disappeared from the Jesus, the mirror used there visually expands the space into the depths. The highly stylized engravings on the base plate indicate rebates and a fountain and define the laterally delimited by a balustrade the scene as a garden. In the stage-like plant, the piece is related to under Italian cribs that also show coral pieces in silver settings.
