Depiction of Jesus

Okay little one, so you know who Jesus is, right? He is often depicted in paintings and images in different ways depending on the time and place.

Sometimes he is shown as a baby in a manger, surrounded by animals and his parents Mary and Joseph. Other times he is shown as a grown man, with a beard and long hair, wearing robes with a halo around his head.

Now, the way in which Jesus is depicted can be influenced by a lot of things such as the artist's culture, tradition, religion, and personal artistic style.

For example, in some cultures, Jesus is depicted with darker skin and more African features. In others, he may be depicted with lighter skin and more European features.

In addition to this, different artists have different styles of painting, so some may choose to depict Jesus in a more realistic way, while others may use symbolism and abstract shapes to represent him.

Ultimately, the way in which Jesus is depicted is based on people's understanding and beliefs about who he was and what he represents to them.
