Masters of Light examines the lives, faith, and inspired artworks of Bertel Thorvaldsen, Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz—the European masters whose depictions of Christ became beloved in Latter-day Saint homes, temples, and publications. Drawing on the landmark Sacred Gifts exhibition at BYU's Museum of Art, author Herman du Toit weaves art history, biography, gospel doctrine, and moving visitor testimonies to show how reverently viewed devotional art can strengthen faith, invite the Spirit, and lead the beholder to a mighty change of heart.

  • The story behind the beloved paintings of Christ that hang in nearly every LDS home and chapel
  • Companion to the blockbuster Sacred Gifts exhibition that drew over half a million visitors
  • Meet the four European masters—Thorvaldsen, Bloch, Hofmann, Schwartz—whose faith shaped how we picture the Savior
  • A rare blend of serious art history and gospel devotion by a distinguished museum educator

Perfect for a faithful Latter-day Saint who loves religious art and wants to understand the spiritual power behind the familiar images of Christ in their chapel and home.
