From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Copy after The Three Maries at the Sepulchre, Fra Angelico in the Museo di San Marco (Florence) is a 1850 watercolor by Fra Angelico, depicting Resurrection of Jesus, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows three women standing by a stone tomb. They wear long robes in soft pink and blue. The background is plain and bright. Eduard Kaiser copied Fra Angelico’s famous fresco. He worked in the 1800s for a group that shared old art with the public. The colors feel lighter than the original. If you like this, find Fra Angelico’s fresco at the Convento di San Marco.
Eduard Kaiser’s 1850 watercolour reproduces Fra Angelico’s mid-15th-century fresco of the Three Maries at the Sepulchre from the Convento di San Marco in Florence. The scene depicts the women in red and green robes, one peering into the empty tomb where a white angel seated on its edge gestures upward, while Saint Augustine kneels nearby and Christ appears in a mandorla above. Executed for the Arundel Society, the work was later issued as a chromolithograph in 1875.
