In “End of Parley Street,” Glen Hopkinson captures a profound moment of faith, departure, and hope. A handful of determined pioneers pause beneath the stately silhouette of the Nauvoo Temple, their belongings gathered and their gaze directed toward new horizons. The palette is soft but sure—morning light glancing off fresh snow, the crispness of air felt in the brush-strokes, the sepia tones of packed wagons grounded in the reality of sacrifice.
But beyond the scene lies the story: followers of Christ, driven from the homes and streets they built, walking into the unknown with courage in their hearts. As Hopkinson himself writes, the painting “helps to depict the emotions and many feelings the Mormons … had as they left their homes.” Glen S. Hopkinson Fine Art
The composition offers both stillness and motion: the church spire rising, symbolic of faith preserved; the small figures moving on, embodying trust and endurance. It is not merely a historical tableau—it is a visual poem of departure, devotion and a promise kept.
Rendered in oil on canvas, the piece invites the viewer to witness a moment when hope out-weighs fear, and faith frames the journey ahead. A fitting choice for any Collector who values art that resonates with heritage, meaning, and quiet strength.
