Art has long served as a mirror to culture and a catalyst for inspiration and transformation. Its power to teach, move, and embed truth can surpass that of the written or spoken word. Yet within the rich catalog of Latter-day Saint art, one sacred subject remains underrepresented—the Crucifixion. As acclaimed Latter-day Saint artist Rose Datoc Dall observes, “There have been a disproportionate few number of Crucifixion images coming from a robust Latter-day Saint visual tradition, which produces a plethora of Gethsemane and Easter images.” This book seeks to address that imbalance. Behold the Lamb presents a compelling collection of contemporary artwork by Latter-day Saint artists, each piece depicting the final twelve hours of Christ’s mortal life. Through these visual meditations, the book invites readers to reflect more deeply on the Savior’s redemptive suffering and to “behold the Lamb of God” (1 Nephi 11:21).
