Come on, this is an official LDS image and you can find it in the standard editions of the BoM (like in the one I have). And he (the newbee cj4soccer) certainly knows it. Definitely no match.

I don't know about official LDS image, but it is from a German - Catholic - artist and predates the Church.

That's right. It's from Heinrich Hofmann. But I don't think it predates the Mormon Church, because Hofmann lived

1824 - 1911, and the Church of Christ (later called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) was established in 1830.   smiley-talk014.gif

 

Thus, The Lord Jesus Christ, as the picture in the illustrations list in the BoM is called, surely wasn't painted before 1830, I guess. I'd like to know when exactly it was painted, but I couldn't find the year.
