Carl Bloch Exhibit

Sorry to bore you with more about art and artists, but welp, thats what i do. I am an Art History Major.

So today my grandparents came down to Provo to experience the Carl Bloch exhibit with me. It was a very anticipated event and already has thousands of people coming to see it. If you don't know who he is, or don't recognize his name, i'm sure you actually have seen some of his work on the cover of the Ensign. He is a master and definitely an inspired man.

                                                                   Healing the Sick

                                                                 Sermon on the Mount

A little history about him: born, raised and worked in Denmark. He painted genre and landscapes, but was mostly known for his religious works. During his life he struggled to receive the recognition he deserved and still doesn't today. But this exhibit shows how incredible of an artist he really is. It displays his etchings, genre scenes and the most incredible alter pieces which the MOA got from the Danish and Swedish churches he painted them for. AMAZING. They are huge. Chairs are lined up in front of each one, so that you may sit and ponder each piece that depicts a scene from Christ's life.

This one of my favorites. Its the scene of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane right after the moment He has performed the Atonement. An angel is there to comfort Him and strengthen Him.

These pictures really don't do him justice!
