Delwin Oliver "Del" Parson (born 1948) is an American painter who is well known for his Latter-day Saint (LDS) themed paintings. His painting of Jesus, "Christ in Red Robe,"〔The name "Christ in Red Robe" is not to be confused with Minerva Teichert's "Christ in a Red Robe" (1945). Parson's painting is called "Christ in Red Robe" by Deseret Book, a publisher of LDS Church materials.() It has also been referred to as "The Lord Jesus Christ", at Parson's online gallery. () It is also called "Jesus the Christ" by the LDS Church's distribution services. ()〕 is recognizable from its wide use by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Scholarly & Historical Information Exchange for Latter-Day Saints )〕 ==Biography== Parson was born in Ogden, Utah and grew up in Rexburg, Idaho, where his father was an art professor at Ricks College. He is one of nine children, three of whom became professional artists. Parson attended Ricks College and later Brigham Young University (BYU), where he received a B.A. in Life Sciences〔 in 1972 and a Master of Fine Arts in drawing and painting in 1975.〔 Parson was a gallery and portrait artist〔 before becoming a professor of art at Dixie College in 1988.〔 There he was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award from the Utah College Council in 1990.〔 〕 After the death of his wife, Joycel, and youngest daughter in a 1978 car accident, Parson felt inspired to begin painting primarily religious subjects.〔 In 1983, he was commissioned by the LDS Church to paint "Christ in Red Robe," his first portrait of Jesus, which has since been used in many church materials.〔 This portrait is the subject of popular Mormon folklore, with claims that Parson produced the work under the direction of church general authorities, who suggested how to make it more accurate, until it was deemed the closest resemblance of Jesus Christ.〔 Parson denies this, stating the work's commission and revisions were according to the needs of the church curriculum department.〔 In April 2011 the biographical film "Del Parson: Portraits of Love" premiered on BYUtv. Parson lives in Cedar City, Utah〔 with his wife, Lynette, and has six children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Del Parson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
