Dignity and Majesty Rose Datoc Dall Oil on canvas, 2002 This image depicts the account given by Parley P. Pratt of Joseph Smith's rebuke of the prison guards while he was incarcerated with other Church leaders in November 1838 in Richmond, Missouri. In addition to Joseph, Sydney Rigdon, Hyrum Smith, Parley P. Pratt, and Amasa Lyman are all portrayed. The guards boasted of their evil deeds, including robbery and murder of Latter–day Saints. This painting represents the artist's love and admiration for the Prophet Joseph. Nothing can be said or done that can undo what he accomplished or change the fact that he was a prophet of God. |
