As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, much of our religious focus is on the life of the Savior. The Church's doctrine is one of hope, redemption, and growth that we learn from the scriptures and modern revelation. We learn that “men are that they might have joy” and that Christ, by way of His life and His teachings, has shown us the way to achieve that true joy.

Likewise, this is the focus of much of our art. Our LDS artists pour their heart and personal belief into scenes depicting Jesus’ miracles or paintings symbolizing His guidance and love. We have an expansive collection of portraits of Jesus that highlight His benevolent nature. Each one showcases a unique style and perspective that invites thoughtful reflection on Christ’s influence in our personal lives. 

It’s no wonder religious artwork, generally speaking, plays such an important role in our lives. It trims just about every chapel, often accompanies any given Sunday lesson, and adds inspiration to many homes. For this blog, we wanted to focus on Latter-day Saint pictures of Christ that we think are perfect for your home, for your church calling, or a special gift for your neighbors, favorite missionary, or loved ones.

A painting of Jesus in your home can invite a quiet sense of peace and help you create a haven from the noise and bustle of the outside world. Find one here that matches the unique taste and style of your home.

If you are going for a modern look, Madison’s art style is perfect. This particular piece focuses on God’s love for all of His children, regardless of race or background.

Simon’s popular painting weaves calming colors together to create a gentle scene. It is a beautiful reminder of the peace that Christ offers each of us, even in the darkest times.

This longer artwork is perfect for hanging over the sofa or adding some color to a hallway. It is a quiet piece that harkens back to Psalm 23: “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.”

Narrow paintings are perfect for hanging along a staircase or pairing with smaller frames. Rose’s Latter-day Saint pictures of Christ carry a lot of narrative, and we love Christ’s expression here as He speaks with His Father in Heaven.

The warm light of this picture reflects a sense of the love Christ has for each of us, as God’s children. Our efforts may seem small to us, but He values every sacrifice.

Jesus taught that He is the light and the life of the world. Sam’s painting celebrates the joy and peace that His teachings can bring us.

All of the shapes and lines in Jorge’s paintings are intentional. He seeks to help us look past visual details to find deeper spiritual meaning. For example, there is a distinct set of lines that draw the eye from Christ to Peter and back again, symbolizing Jesus’ invitation and Peter’s opportunity to act on faith.

The invitation to follow Jesus is unique to each of us. We love the quiet reverence Lightweave captures in this piece. It suggests the dawning of a new day and the start of something miraculous.

Annie’s classic stucco style gives this painting a lot of flavor and texture. It’s the perfect home decor piece, adding just a touch of color and a quiet statement of faith and devotion.

Similarly, the renaissance style textures make this a timeless portrait. The earthy, muted colors speak to Jesus’ humble character, while the silvery-white halo acknowledges His role as the redeemer of the world.

This peaceful piece by Kristin is perfect for creating a calm atmosphere in any room The colors of the sunset reflected off of the incoming tide in connection with Christ’s deep-blue robe create a scene that is gentle and refreshing.

Much of life can feel chaotic and out of our control. Simon’s collection of Latter-day Saint pictures of Christ serves as inspiring reminders that the Lord is not the author of confusion, but peace. This particular painting captures not only a peaceful setting but also a depiction of Jesus that is strong and steady.

Joseph’s drawings have stunning detail. His sketched portraits of Jesus reflect a sense of both strength and resilience. He is the rock of our salvation and if we build our foundation on Him and His teachings, then we can withstand the storms of life.

This is a more solemn piece by Simon, with the deeper colors and Christ’s more serious expression. It’s a beautiful portrait that honors His sacred role as the Savior of the world. He understands every pain and injustice and seeks to help us find our way back to Heavenly Father.

In His teachings and throughout His ministry, Jesus always demonstrated how important each soul is to God. Regardless of past mistakes or current struggles, He does not turn anyone. He goes searching for them.

This calm image of Jesus highlights Christ’s humble and gentle characteristics. Just like the title, the willow leaves and gentle colors invite a spirit of reflection and meditation.

Jorge’s interpretation of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane is simple but profound. There is not a wide array of colors and little in the way of distinct detail, allowing our focus to be on the Savior and the ultimate act of love that he performed.

It’s easy to get lost in the rush and chaos of everyday life. Lightweave’s picture reminds us that sometimes the best way to feel closer to God is to simply slow down and enjoy the small things.

This piece by Eva beautifully illustrates a scriptural phrase that is repeated throughout the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Savior appears to be in deep reflection and, considering that mountains often represent drawing closer to God, the image also carries deep meaning.

Religious art can add a lot to a devotional or Sunday School lesson. Like music, fine art can sometimes communicate a deeper message than what we may be able to say in words. It can help to invite the right spirit for learning about Jesus Christ and His gospel.

This popular painting by Simon has brought inspiration and comfort to many. There is little distraction in it, just Jesus’ warm smile and His welcoming embrace.

Jay’s image of the good shepherd makes for the perfect addition to any lesson on ministering or service.

By God’s word, the Earth was made. This unique depiction of Christ looking up at the galaxy reminds us that His role as the Savior began far before His actual ministry on Earth. His power and authority run deeper than we know. As such, we can trust His teachings and promises.

This somber image of Jesus portrays the suffering He experienced in the garden of Gethsemane. The darkness is contrasted by the angel comforting Christ, though the sadness and pain in Christ’s expression remain. It is a beautiful depiction of Jesus’ deep love for the human family. 

Each of us faces our storms throughout life. And when Christ invites us to step out into the waves anyway, it is a terrifying experience. But the calm, light, and strength that Eva puts into this depiction of the Savior serve as a reminder that we can trust him.

Joseph’s sketch of Jesus appearing to the people in the early Americas is inspiring. It illustrates Christ’s ability to minister to individuals of all ages and social classes. Regardless of our background or our current standing, the Savior has a way of reaching us right where we are.

The miracle of the loaves and fishes is a favorite. It teaches many different things, including Christ’s ability to magnify our efforts into something so much greater than we ever anticipated. The best part is that it usually means healing others along the way. 

Most LDS pictures of Christ, outside of portraits, show Him in action. He is healing, serving, and teaching just as He always was in His ministry. So Eva’s painting is interesting because it shows the Savior simply resting. Often it is in the quiet moments that we can feel God the most.

Christ overcame both sin and death, the two barriers that keep us from returning to our Father in heaven. Here, Joseph celebrates His majesty, power, and glory.
