The Picture Is In The Stone
The aspect of the idea about Jesus was a bearded Caucasian that would be accepted by the middle period. However, the picture of the Messiah being a good shepherd became the most famous appearance of Jesus in our age. He appeared wearing cream or white clothes, long-haired, and bearded man. It was the image we could see on some imageries in this current period.
Connecting Images
Most historical painters did not find any illustrative report in the Bible. Even though it should help them make a guide of what the Messiah looks like. It was the reason that painters wanted to create an image of Jesus on their model. However, they connected the photos at the previous work of painters to make similar imagery of him.
