Art & the Gospel

One of the things I've really enjoyed here at the MTC is the artwork on the walls.  All along the hallways are paintings of the Savior or church history or Book of Mormon stories.  In one of the main buildings there is a hallway filled with photos of missionaries in various parts of the world.  I hadn't paid too close of attention until a couple of days ago when our Church Education Instructor suggested we walk around and look at the art.  I would like to share some of it with you.

  

The Last Supper by Walter Rane
It is next to the elevator on our floor

In our lobby

Along the hall of the main building
I believe these are both Carl Bloch prints



Christ walking on water
We gave a small copy of this to Kendra when she was baptized 

This is one of the photos-imagine being baptized in that icy water!

I don't know how to enlarge this (wish I had better computer skills!)
Look closely-the men on the left are watching for crocodiles while the men in white are baptizing people!

We have a print of the Savior with little children and one of the Kirtland temple in our room.   Seeing all these images brightens my day!

  1. Those paintings are beautiful, and the pictures of people being baptized are incredible. I can't imagine being in a hole in the ice, but being in crocodile-infested water might be even scarier!!! Those people sure had lots of faith! :0)

  5. That picture of Christ walking on the water is one of my favorites. And of course, being from Bainbridge, I'm basically required to love all things Walter Rane!!!

    That crocodile picture terrifies me. These people have a lot more faith than I would have. How incredible.
