About this Image:
The Portrait of the Prophets is perhaps Doc Christensen’s most well-known, and beloved painting. The original painting was done in oil on canvas and measured forty-eight inches square to show the beauty of the ceiling of the Salt Lake Temple. The very first version of the Portrait of the Prophets was painted in 1979 by Doc and unique to that original oil painting, Christ was painted in the foreground with His back to the viewer and each of the Prophets was looking at Him.
About the Artist:
DOC O. CHRISTENSEN was raised on a dairy farm in Merced, California, where he spent a lot of time learning to draw. At a young age, his mother soon introduced him to oil painting. Later on in life, he gained experience as a technical illustrator. Both accuracy and beauty are apparent in each of his works, his best known being The Portrait of the Prophets. Doc's religious art so far carries two main themes: Jesus Christ as the Savior, and the everyday commitment of believers choosing to live His gospel. Among his unique works, you will see scenes of valiant missionaries, faithful pioneers, modern-day families, and meaningful church service.
