Sealing the Tomb is a great altarpiece triptych by William Hogarth in the English city of Bristol.

[2] The painting was commissioned from William Hogarth in 1755 to fill the east end of the chancel of St Mary Redcliffe.

During the Victorian era Hogarth's work was no longer thought to be suitable for the church and attempts were made to sell it to the National Gallery or via Christie's and an advertisement was placed in The Times; however no potential purchasers could be found.

The building was partially restored and the roof replaced by 1964 when it was leased to The Corporation of Bristol as a museum of church artefacts and local history.

The museum closed in 1991; however the painting remained within the offices of the Bristol & Region Archaeological Services.
