 Michele Bacci, "The Many Faces of Christ: Portraying the Holy in the East and West, 300 to 1300" English | ISBN: 1780232683 | 2014 | EPUB | 256 pages | 36 MB Thanks to current portrayals of Jesus of Nazareth, we are apt to think of him as having long hair and a short beard. But, the holy scriptures do not describe Christ's physiognomy, and his representations are inconsistent in early Christian and medieval arts. How did this long-haired archetype come to be accepted in the late ninth century as the standard iconography of the Son of God? To answer this question, The Many Faces of Christ examines the complex historical and cultural dynamics underlying the making and final establishment of Christ's image between late antiquity and the early Renaissance.
