O Grave, where is thy Victory? — History & Facts

The title of this drawing is taken from a letter by wthe Apostle Paul concerning the victory of Faith over Death. Here Death appears as the deliverer from earthly suffering. Lying near an open grave is the body of a man entwined with thorny branches, the symbol of man’s sorrowful earthly existence.

Two seraphim (angels) float above the grave and free the dead man from these branches.
