Notes

Accompanied by quote from artist: "This painting describes the incredible gathering of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The top portion of the painting indicates the full journey across the plains from Nauvoo, Illinois to the eventual arrival in the Salt Lake Valley. The left panel shows their crossing the Mississippi River in late spring. The central panel represents the passage of time and traversing the plains mid summer, with a faint indication of angels accompanying them. The right panel shows approaching winter and the efforts of later parties as they begin to traverse the Rocky Mountains."
