"Study for 'And the Sea gave up the Dead which were in it'" is a preparatory work by the eminent British painter Lord Frederick Leighton (1830–1896), a leading figure of the Victorian classical art scene and the president of the Royal Academy. This study is part of the process for the creation of a larger, more finished painting, reflecting Leighton's meticulous approach to composition and his classical training. The title of the work is a direct reference to a passage from the Book of Revelation (20:13) in the Christian New Testament, which describes the final judgment when the sea gives up the dead within it.

Leighton was known for his historical and mythological works, often characterized by their idealized beauty and academic precision. This study would have served as an instrumental step in achieving the final composition, allowing Leighton to explore aspects such as form, light, and the emotional resonance required to depict such a powerful biblical scene. As with many of his works, Leighton's approach to this subject would have been informed by his deep knowledge of classical art and literature, as well as his own experiences from extensive travels in Europe and the Middle East.

The exact date of this study is not clear, but it would have been created during Leighton's mature period when he had established his reputation as a master of Victorian art. The final painting, if completed, would likely have been exhibited at the Royal Academy or another prominent venue, contributing to the era's rich tapestry of religious and mythological art. The study itself, as a window into Leighton's artistic process, offers valuable insights into the methods and considerations of one of the period's most respected artists.
