List of artworks on Jesus of Nazareth (in chronological order)

< Jesus of Nazareth in : Art -- Cinema -- Literature -- Music -- Theatre >

In the absence of any contemporary description of his appearance, each generation has re-imagined Jesus according to their own taste and ideals, not according to "historical" criteria.

After Christianity became the State religion of the Roman Empire, Christians began portraying Jesus as a Roman ruler, standing victorious or sitting on the throne of judgment. Jesus carries the cross as a sword and no reference is made to his suffering and death.




Byzantine Art (Jesus the Monk; Madonna and Child)

Christ 6cent.jpg Christ Pantocrator Cefalu.jpg

The two halves of Jesus's face are asymmetrical, to emphasize the double nature of the Son (human and divine).
