Painting Description
Mormon Panorama is a series of paintings created by Danish-American artist C. C. A. Christensen in the late 19th century. This collection consists of 23 large-scale canvases that depict significant events in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Christensen, who was a convert to the LDS Church, aimed to visually narrate the experiences and trials faced by early Mormon pioneers.
The paintings in the Mormon Panorama cover a range of historical moments, from the early days of the church's founding by Joseph Smith to the migration of the Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley. Notable scenes include the First Vision, the translation of the Book of Mormon, the persecution of the Saints in Missouri and Illinois, and the eventual settlement in Utah. Each canvas is rich with detail and reflects Christensen's dedication to capturing the spirit and resilience of the Mormon community.
Christensen originally used these paintings as part of a traveling exhibition, where he would present them in a "moving panorama" format. This involved unrolling each canvas in sequence while narrating the stories depicted, providing audiences with both visual and oral histories of the LDS Church. This method was particularly effective in the late 19th century, as it allowed people who were unable to read or access written histories to learn about the church's past.
The Mormon Panorama is considered an important cultural artifact within the LDS community and American religious art. It not only serves as a historical record but also as a testament to the faith and perseverance of the early Mormons. Today, the paintings are preserved and displayed at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, where they continue to educate and inspire viewers with their vivid portrayal of Mormon heritage.
