A young man in 19th-century clothing kneels in a dark forest, bathed in a brilliant pillar of divine golden light descending from above. The style is impressionistic.

Imagine you are seeing, from about 50 feet away, a young man in early 19th-century clothing kneeling on the forest floor. Directly above his head, a brilliant pillar of divine light descends from above. The setting is a dense grove of tall, slender trees with scattered undergrowth. The light cuts through the forest gloom, illuminating the young man and the figures. The style is abstract, indistinct, and impressionistic with colors suggesting late winter or early spring. Reverent. Mysterious. The image recalls the story of Joseph Smith's First Vision in 1820. See more
