Jesus’ appearance in art
Why is Jesus depicted as white (Caucasian) in all the Christian artwork and movies? In "My Son My Savior," "Come Follow Me," picture Bibles, and even on the Facebook cover photo for WELS, Jesus is a white man.
As we do not have any images of Jesus from his life and ministry on earth, artists will use their skills and imaginations to depict a 1st century Jewish man who lived in Palestine.
While we presently do not have knowledge of Jesus’ physical features, it will be different when we see him face to face in heaven. Then we will know what the Savior of the nations looks like.
