position: absolute; moves images in front of a div-CodePudding

I have two images that need to be at the bottom of a div and behind a gradient that needs to have the same rules both can be fixed with position: absolute; bottom: 0; but it moves the images in front of the gradient

The reason for this approach is that I need the page to be responsive with different resolutions for PCs

How it is now

How I want it

Gradient CSS Code:

.gradient {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, #000000, transparent);
    width: 100%;
    margin-top: 43.5%;
    height: 13.8%;
}

Images CSS Code:

.images {
    width: 95%;
    margin: auto;
    padding: 4% 0 0 0;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-between;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
}

Add a z-index on .gradient (z index 1) .images (z index 0) in order to fix display layers order
