Christ Descending into the Grave

Christ descends a flight of steps with a key in each hand, his pale robe set against a dark opening and flames below. Luigi Schiavonetti engraved the design after William Blake for Robert Blair’s poem The Grave. This edition follows the Met’s impression dated March 1, 1813.

Surrealium’s AI-assisted colour interpretation retains the solitary figure, architectural setting and engraved caption. Compare the museum original with the contemporary edition to see how colour changes the scene’s stillness and light.
