Resumen
In this paper we will study the representation of the immortality of the soul in Christian culture. Paintings will be used for analysis. Up to the nineteenth century Christian painting used symbols, such as the open grave, the grape and the wine, representing the immortality through the victory of Christ over death on the cross.The Spiritist Doctrine, 1857, proposes a new way of representing immortality using
also the grape as its symbol, but in a most simple manner. Its goal is to highlight that immortality is an attribute of all of us, spirits, regardless of our religious choice.
