This only proves my point that deities and gods in ancient times were often depicted and perceived as looking the same as the people who drew them.  A reflection of self.

The Jesus that the Polish nun drew does not look the same as the Jesus that the Danes, Germans, and Scandinavians drew, simply because all these different European populations look different with regard to skin colour, hair colour and eye colour.

Got some truth in your observation. Sr Faustina lamented in her diary that the painting of Jesus was not up to the mark of her actual vision in terms of beauty. I'm guessing the original painter also painted under the influence of what he believed Jesus would look like.

It is incredible that save for the variation in physiological colouring eg. skin colour , eyes colour, hair colour, Jesus in the paintings of yore as imagined by the classical painters, bore a good resemblance to what Sr Faustina saw.

Please note also that to date, no illustration of Jesus resembles the neanderthal caveman version modern day 'researchers' have come up with, and that includes even the earliest drawings of Jesus from the biblical times.
