'Tis a fellow icon of one I discovered a year ago, in an old Catholic church. I take care to treat it with the reverence due.

(I'll see if I can dig up an old photo I took of mine a while back, when it was bathed in candlelight)

This one is the coolest and most realistic (to his teachings) I´ve seen so far:

Isaiah 53

1 Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?
2 -6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.

in fact, until 3rd century c.e it was accepted that the nazerene was a hunchback. is this really that hard to accept?

Zephyr, you know you are completely insane.

Oh well...Becky, you *did* put it in Comparitive Religions!

If I am seduced by Jesus' knobby knees, does that mean I'm going to hell?

I like this one:

Mainly because it is probably closer to what he looked like than what we normally see, and I start humming Bob Marley songs and thinking of the beach when I see it.

I don´t think so, but you may need some "group therapy"

I couldn't find my favorite online. It is a portrait of Christ wearing white by Gary Kapp. I could find his portrait in the red, but the white one is my favorite.

Another one of my favorites is this one by Carl Bloch. They have the original in the BYU art museum and it is amazing to look at. In person, the eyes of the man with the red hat are piercing. This photo doesn't really do the original justice.

This painting by Gary Olsen is another one that came to mind. My parents have a print of it hanging in our living room at home. I think the colors in the painting are beautiful.

O Jerusalem

I like this painting...he looks so introspective.

I agree. This is a short analysis on the painting that I found online.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem...how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings." Matthew 23:37 [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As the slanting rays of sunlight reflect on the rooftops of Jerusalem, the Savior pauses on the Mount of Olives to ponder the end of his mortal mission which is swiftly approaching. Nevertheless, the piece is filled with hope, for the Savior's mission was an eternal one and a new day will surely dawn.[/FONT]

I like this picture although it doesn't really look the way Jesus really looked.

I like this one by Rembrandt:
