This luminous watercolor of Jesus emerging from the tomb is one of around eighty Bible illustrations produced by William Blake, principally between 1800 and 1805. It relates to the passage in John 20 where Mary visits the sepulchre and finds "two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where by the body of Jesus had lain." The scholar Naomi Billingsley has suggested that the vertical alignment, mirror postures and eye contact between Jesus and Mary may reflect Blake's belief that each person is an embodiment of Jesus.
