The Perfect Image
Even years after, people are still expecting all images of the Messiah to stay the same. Again, most people think of a white man in a cream or white robe, maybe with a halo above his head. The facial aspects and outlines are expected to stay the same. This is the result of the artists who produced images following the same themes in the past. According to Jean, people still look at Jesus to be a holy figure.

Mighty Features
It has always been the intention of artists to portray Jesus Christ as a holy being. This is not all that different from the way that superheroes are depicted in this day and age. The same goes for Roman people and the classical gods. It seems like long hair has always been taken to be a sign of power. It holds the same meaning in our time because this feature is still associated with a mighty figure. Artists drew him in such a way that would let them show that he was a powerful being. It looked like it worked.
