Tonight I had the experience of seeing a large collection of original religious art by Carl Bloch. These three shown were a few favorites. Bloch has a beautiful way of illustrating emotions and expressions...I really could see and feel certain emotions from those that were in these paintings next to Christ. These images have power and increased my feelings and testimony of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I felt so lucky to have been able to attend the exhibition--the paintings came from church's from all over, even Denmark and Sweden. Four paintings were removed from their altar settings for the very first time since installed in the late 1800s.
If you're in the area, the exhibition is well worth attending and it's free.
