As the duality of Christ continues to cause trials for artists, the trite "Christian" imagery of the bearded figure with the kind eyes and olive complexion, or worse, the ethno-centric blasphemies of different cultures trying to "own" the appearance of Jesus, I often dwell on the absence of imagery of the early Church. The "Jewish" Church avoided all forms of imagery in worship because of the Second Commandment. It wasn't until over two centuries later that the first Apollonian influenced images of a supposed "Christ" figure, with Apollo's shining Nimbus in full glory and shaven face, show up in catacombs when the Pagans began becoming "Christian". Their liberal views of worship soon permeated the more doctrinally sound synagogal worship along with many other influences from cultures that had no foundation in Christ's Old Testament.
