Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ of Nazareth was born around 4 B.C. and passed away at some point between 30 and 33 A.D. Christ has been depicted as a figure in Western art more often than any other figure in history. The painting above was created long after his death; a white man with light hair would liekly not have come from the Persian area of the Roman Empire. Jesus' actual appearance has always been the subject of controversy.
