"Artist concept of "Moon Mission"."

For whatever it's worth, this scene depicts the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn of the Command/Service Module (CSM) Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine.

 

What an understated caption for an amazing work of art. And, in my world - iconic. Possibly by Mr. Gary Meyer?

 

If so, or even if not, fascinating history/background on the artist, who was responsible for a bulk of phenomenal artwork depicting a "moon mission". And...Mr. Meyer's credentials, achievements and honors are immensely impressive:
