I’d be curious AF what he thought about all these depictions of him as a white dude with straight, light brown hair
I suppose it’s fair to say that some of the early artists who painted him probably never saw a brown Jew, and were handed down the stories of the Bible same as anyone, and just painted what they know. I can’t fault anyone for that, but the fact that the world very much knows better now and continues with this is obnoxious.
Close to the truth. The original use for a white Jesus was to express purity and divinity. From there, it just kind of snowballed…
