welcometothewestsaed: lovenerdeen: homeomorphism: inkdefense: salolisayonarabitch: almondskeyes: ouchhhh facts. i feel like this explanation is useful but it lets us (white folks) off the hook a little in terms of how much awareness there’s been in Europe historically about the existence of non-white-skinned individuals. and if we’re talking about painters from late medieval artistic havens like Italy or the Netherlands, it just don’t make sense to me that well-educated people living in major commercial centers would actually believe the historical jesus looked Scandinavian. imo, the history of white Jesus as an image is bound up in the history of anti-Arab, anti-Muslim propaganda and jingoism that has characterized most of Europe throughout Islam’s existence. I remember reading that some pope comissioned a painter to portray jesus as looking extremely similar to a member of the Borgia family and thus we have White Jesus ^ yeah I remember reading that as well.
