Carl Christian Anton Christensen (November 28, 1831 – July 3, 1912) was a Danish-American painter who painted the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[2] Of him, it has been said that he "did more than any other person to capture the images of the history of Mormon migration to Utah and the life lived there".[3]
