The Good Shepherd
Just look at the paintings of the Messiah in the grassland with many sheep around him. Allegorical artists did this so that they can portray Jesus Christ as “the good shepherd.” This was meant to symbolize that He was the shepherd of the people. The job was supposed to signify that he was a suitable leader who everyone should follow. In reality, however, these paintings were created during the early Roman age. These works of art were often found in Rome, which was located far from His actual homeland.

The Picture Is In The Stone
It was during the Middle Ages that the idea of him as a Caucasian man with facial hair became more accepted. However, we think that the most common depiction of Jesus Christ is still as a good shepherd. Other features frequently used by artists would be white or cream robes, long hair, and a beard. If you check out the pieces from that period, there is no way you would miss this.
