"For half a century, Mormons have seen Carl Heinrich Bloch’s Christ everywhere — reproduced in LDS magazines, manuals and books, hanging in temples, meetinghouses and visitor centers and used as visual aids in Sunday school presentations.
But members of the Utah-based faith rarely have seen Bloch’s Jesus as he was meant to be — filling a massive canvas above the altar in a Scandinavian Lutheran Church.
That Christ will be on display starting next week at Brigham Young University’s Museum of Art in a show titled, “Carl Bloch: The Master’s Hand.”

"According to Campbell Gray, director of the Museum of Art, Bloch’s religious works have the capacity to illuminate the life and mission of the Savior with extraordinary power and insight. “Instead of simple storytelling, he employs visual devices to engage the viewer in a direct moral conversation about the personal choices proposed by a painting’s story,” Gray said. “His paintings affirm Christ’s mission of salvation and, at the same time, challenge the viewer to make the tough choices that bespeak a living faith.”
