Famous Mormon Mural by LA Ramsey Found and Saved


This painting of the Angel Moroni delivering of the plates of the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith by Lewis A. Ramsey is one of the best know paintings in the LDS Church. Unknown and lost for decades,  I was part of the rediscovery of this “long lost masterpiece." Go to the following link to see this video about the incredible story how it was saved from demolition, lost, rediscovered (smelly!), conserved and restored.
