Have you ever wondered what Jesus Christ really looked like? The iconic image of a white, blue-eyed Jesus has been ingrained in our minds for centuries. However, scholars suggest that this portrayal may not accurately represent the historical Jesus.
Bas Uterwijk, a talented Dutch photographer and digital artist, embarked on a remarkable mission to uncover the true face of Jesus. Drawing on cutting-edge technology and Artbreeder’s machine-learning techniques, Bas sought to create an image that reflected the historical context of Jesus’ birthplace.
The result? A captivating and unexpected image that challenges our conventional perception of Jesus’ appearance. Bas explains, “The AI software I used combines photographic portraits and painted renditions of human faces to create a synthesized image based on the user’s preferences.”
