Thank you, that is informative. Still, I believe most of the artists were not necessarily painting Him as they did to achieve historical accuracy, but to achieve transcendence through their own cultural lens of beauty. Again, witness African and Asian images. No one alive knows what He really looks like, so claiming any portrayal as authentic and another not is pure speculation.
