The Perfect Image
A long time has since passed, but people still believe that Jesus Christ actually looked like that. We are talking about his facial features, his outline, and even his cream or white robe. There are also certain paintings that showed him with a halo above his head. Over the years, artists have portrayed him in numerous ways. According to Jean, people want to look at an image of him and see a holy being.

Mighty Features
But how did artists go about portraying Jesus in such a way? It looks like long hair is one feature used to this end. To be fair, there are also other examples outside of Christianity. For example, this also occurred with the Roman people and their gods, as well as modern society and superheroes. It has often been taken to mean that the person sporting this hairstyle is a mighty and powerful being. The artists found it important to add these features so that they could portray Jesus Christ as someone who was more powerful than everyone else!
