The metadata elements clustered under KEYWORD SEARCHES are an aggregation of descriptors that identify people, places, things, activities, and time/date/year associations, using established picklists and authorities for recommended words, phrases, and values where possible. KEYWORD SEARCHES is intended to collect under a single "umbrella" summary field all the relevant, searchable field topics and names (similar to the way in which end users "Google" online resources). Keywords improve the "findability" of relevant media assets. |

[comments provided by Robert S. Olpin, PhD] A BIT ABOUT DAN WEGGELAND...This profile view of Joseph Smith is now attributed to the Norwegian painter, Dan Weggeland (1827-1918). Originally from Christiana, Norway (b. March 31), Weggeland had shown a great interest in drawing even in childhood and, by the time he was sixteen, was afforded the opportunity of taking first art lessons with a local portrait painter in Stavanger, Norway, where his family had moved sometime earlier. Four years later, young Weggeland had posted off to Copenhagen for a one-year apprenticeship with a painter and decorator there, and then it was on to the Danish Royal Academy for another year of study. Back in Norway after the Danish experience, young Danquart, with big city experience including many museum visits (especially to the Thorvaldsen Museum) behind him, took some lessons in landscape painting, made a little money doing portraits, decorated some theatre curtains, and studied costume design for his own benefit as a figure painter. In order to live, he took an odd assortment of jobs, and then in 1854 his life changed with the overhearing of a conversation between a Mormon missionary and a fellow Norwegian. An L.D.S. branch had just been organized in Stavanger, and Weggeland eventually accepted an invitation to come to one of the Mormon meetings. There he met C.C.A. Christensen, and within a year Weggeland was a convert to the new religion. |
