Artist Lets Us Get A Glimpse Of What These 29 Famous Historical And Popular Figures ‘Really’ Looked Like (New Pics)

Actually, there are 3rd century paintings, and 6th-century paintings based on paintings from the first century. They look way more Jewish than the medieval, European paintings you're used to seeing, but they often do depict long hair and a beard.

For a joke like this you could be punished in many countries now))

Probably true, but the cool thing is that he wouldn't mind...

They think Jesus looks like a white country singer.

Those of us who have actually read the Bible think it's pretty accurate.

I'm pretty hardcore. I don't really know what that means, but I'll go with it. I can't speak for all 'hardcores' but let's make the official statement "nice pic! Looks like you put a lot of work into it, very skillful - well done!"

"Hardcore" is a funny word I've never used, but I would consider myself to be that! 😊 And... yes, of course, with all the media and paintings and... cultural assumption? flying around all the time... I picture Jesus as white. BUT I also know logically that, um, dude, he was actually definitely NOT white in reality. And this image is pretty legit! I don't know if it'll be able to break into the engrained, world-emphasized thoughts in my brain, but I think maybe I'll try to see if it can... 🙃

As a Christian I think this is quite likely what Jesus looked like. I think it's ridiculous w How many people still think that he was white with blue eyes!

I think that it descripts him perfectly.

depends on whether if they can make money off it

Christian here and I never thought Jesus would look anything other than a Hebrew, born in the Middle East.

Looks about right to me. The Blonde, blue-eyed Jesus just never rang true for me. This looks like a Carpenter from the Middle East.

Sephardic?

first off, Jesus is not an Iberian. an Iberian is someone that is of Spanish or Portugese descent. secondly, jews are not European, they are actually middle eastern. third, this is what the ancient hebrews actually looked like. Jesus is not of north African descent. the reason jews look caucasian, is because they were exiled into europe, and overtime, most of them became white, because they interbred with the europeans. i believe this theory is true because europeans actually have middle eastern dna, and they have very similar facial features to middle easterners. ive seen many middle eastern people that looked caucasian but their fathers were middle eastern and their moms were caucasian, or vice versa. i think lighter skin is dominant. mixed race people usually have lighter skin than their fathers.

Just a normal Benedict Cumberbatch then? Benedict is in fact, naturally a redhead. ;) (and one of the few men I find attractive even as a lesbian lmao)

Doesn't look anything like BC!

Van Gogh had a narrow jaw and a triangular shaped face. If his face was angled down as it is here, it could make his face appear longer.

Self-portraits as there were many he did but only one known photograph that was taken when he was 19. https://i0.wp.com/historycolored.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Van-Gogh.jpeg?w=800&ssl=1 He didn't like his photo taken.

Maybe his mother, Aurelia.

Well, that fits for a national symbol.I wonder if there is a rendition of France’s Marianne, so that we can compare. Also, wasn’t the Statue of Liberty originally made in France?

I'm seeing Madonna haha

I see Salma Hayek

Is she a Kate Winslet impersonator?

Lecherous. You can tell from his poetry, he was a dirty old man, but probably one of the more amusing and intelligent ones of his era.

He's a writer. The sneakiest of all professions, plotting, plotting, plotting, twists at the end, killing the darlings, in-house jokes, foreshadowing, easter eggs, red herrings and it's not who you thought it was.

Might have been considering no juvenilia or other writings remain and Edward de Vere probably was the true author.

I was thinking more Uma Thurman

Circa Braveheart, maybe early 1990s. I concur!

Is that possible?

Pre "sugar tits."
