Theologians and historians have debated for nearly two thousand years what the historical Jesus Christ might have looked like.\n\n\n\n

The Son of God is typically portrayed in Renaissance art \u2014 and by the Catholic Church \u2014 as a towering, hulking European with long, blond hair and piercing blue eyes.\n\n\n\n

However, most historians agree that a carpenter\u2019s son born in modern-day Palestine would have the same physical characteristics as the natives of that time: a shorter, stockier frame with curly black hair.\n\n\n\n

But the debate may have been settled once and for all thanks to an innovative artificial intelligence tool deployed by a Dutch photographer and digital artist.\n\n\n\n

The expert in algorithmic picture synthesis, Bas Uterwijk, used the machine learning capabilities of the program Artbreeder to create a stunning portrait of Jesus.\n\n\n\n

His \u201chistorically accurate\u201d depiction of the Messiah stands in stark contrast to Western art and ecclesiastical depictions of the Messiah.\n\n\n\n

Bas Uterwijk\n\n\n\n
Mr. Uterwijk stated, \u201cI have a background in Computer Generated images and Special Effects.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe artificial intelligence software utilises a neural network trained on photographs and paintings of thousands human faces.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis application makes it possible to combine multiple sources of faces and merge them in a synthesised version, guided by the artistic decisions of the user. I use it to create historical and fictional characters.\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used several cultural depictions of Jesus of Nazareth of Byzantine and Renaissance origin including Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s \u201cSalvator Mundi\u201d, and the Turin Shroud, tweaking the ethnicity to a more convincing Middle-Eastern face.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
