"I am the Resurrection and the Life," also known as "The Village Funeral," is a poignant painting by the British artist Frank Holl (1845–1888). Created in 1872, the work is a testament to Holl's reputation as a painter of social realism and his profound empathy for the hardships of the rural poor. The painting's title is derived from the Gospel of John (11:25), where Jesus proclaims himself as the source of eternal life, a theme that Holl explores through the depiction of a funeral scene.

The artwork captures a solemn moment during a village funeral, with mourners gathered around a grave. The central focus is on the figures' expressions of grief and the somber atmosphere, which Holl renders with a masterful use of light and shadow. The painting's composition and the emotional weight of the subject matter are characteristic of Holl's style, which often addressed the struggles and dignity of the lower classes.

Frank Holl's commitment to social issues and his narrative approach align him with the broader movement of Victorian social-realist painting. "I am the Resurrection and the Life" is considered one of his most significant works, showcasing his ability to convey powerful human stories through art. The painting is not only a reflection of the artist's technical skill but also an evocative commentary on life, death, and the hope of resurrection.

The painting has been exhibited in various art institutions and is noted for its historical and cultural significance within the canon of British art. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its compassionate portrayal of Victorian society's often overlooked individuals.
