"And the Sea Gave Up the Dead Which Were in It" is a painting by the eminent British artist Lord Frederick Leighton (1830–1896), a leading figure of the Victorian classical school of painting and the president of the Royal Academy of Arts. This work, which is lesser-known compared to Leighton's more famous pieces, takes its enigmatic title from a passage in the Book of Revelation (20:13) in the New Testament, which speaks of the sea giving up its dead at the time of the final judgment.

The painting is a fine example of Leighton's academic style and his fascination with classical themes and mythology. It is characterized by its dramatic representation, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of rich, evocative colors that were typical of Leighton's work. The exact date of creation for this painting is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced in the latter part of Leighton's career, which was marked by a mature handling of subject matter and technique.

In "And the Sea Gave Up the Dead Which Were in It," Leighton may have aimed to capture the moment of resurrection and the tumultuous emotions associated with the biblical event. The painting likely features figures emerging from the sea, a common motif in art that symbolizes rebirth and the eternal cycle of life and death. However, the specific composition, style, and current location of the painting are not well-recorded in available art historical resources.

As with many of Leighton's works, this painting would have been executed with a high degree of skill, showcasing his ability to render the human form with grace and his adept use of light and shadow to create depth and volume. Leighton's works often reflect his interest in idealized beauty and the human experience, themes that would be expected to feature prominently in this painting as well.

Due to the scarcity of information on "And the Sea Gave Up the Dead Which Were in It," including its provenance, critical reception, and impact on the art world, it remains a relatively obscure piece within Leighton's oeuvre. Further research and discovery would be required to provide a more complete understanding of this artwork and its place in the history of British art.
