Your regdate suggests that you did not, in fact, stumble directly out from under a rock to a public terminal, but, um, the answer is more than likely related to the fact that some folks find it hot for whatever reason.

IIRC, that guy took his websites down since he's trying to have an actual career in graphic design and art but people saved literally all of his poo poo so it's likely gonna pop up whenever you Google him now.

A lot of it is still on his tumblr so he did a piss-poor job if he was trying to scour it from his past.

In case anyone is curious, the reasoning I was always taught for medieval Jesuses being so ugly is that they were painted not to look like babies, but rather given manly features since Jesus was no normal baby.

Also has a pretty nice set of abs on him

If memory serves a lot of church art was ultimately commissioned by wealthy people as a way to get into heaven. This was especially true of those people kneeling outside of paintings. Those were painted to be the people who commissioned the art to buy their way into God's good graces. In the case of paintings of baby Jesus with his mom sometimes the paintings would have the face of whoever paid for it put on baby Jesus. Which is unbelievable hubris.

Which is part of why old church art can look very weird in general. It was often painted to deliberately glorify the people that were paying for it. Which was ironic because they were often rich oligarchs or shithead nobles who were kind of going against what Jesus actually taught.

Oh hey the peasants living on the land are hungry and their lives kind of suck. Nah gently caress it, better pay for a painting.
