The Dead Christ with Angels
Edouard Manet
1864
The Dead Christ with Angels is an 1864 oil painting by French painter Édouard Manet. The painting depicts the biblical story (John 20:12) of Mary Magdalene entering the tomb of Jesus and seeing two angels but finding Jesus's body missing. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Manet seldom chose to paint images with religious meaning, and he tended to focus on contemporary subjects.
