Like they portray Him in the old paintings?

The 40 day fast was early in Jesus' ministry. He was on the earth for a good 3 years following that time.

not in the least
he was the son of a carpenter and therefore helped in the family business. They had no trucks or cranes to do the hard work.
He was probably one of the best bodybuilders around.

No! Jesus was a carpenter, He would have been healthy and strong throughout His ministry. But, before and at the time of His death, He had fasted for forty days and was beaten to near death then crucified. So, I would imagine the portrait at the end would have looked pretty bad. But I prefer to envision Him as He is now, in His resurrected body, whole and strong and alive.

I believe that the artists are trying to portray an emotion of exhaustion to the point of death. He would have been pretty worn out with severe loss of blood from the beatings and the lack of re-hydration throughout the day.

the two classical depictions of Jesus are representative of either His torture and death or his resurrected triumph as the strong Son of God.
the brutal treatment endured by Jesus insuch a short time is what artists have tried to show and as such yes He would look weakened and emaciated,the suffering Christ in other words.

After he emerged from the wilderness following his 40-day fast, I bet he was! But I'll bet he was stronger than ever inside and his body quickly recovered.
Have you ever noticed, that in the Bible, when God wanted to prepare someone for stepping up to a new level, he trained them for 40 days? Unless they were REALLY stubborn, it might take 40 years then!

He is protrayed human and humble. Like a man. We are weak, but he is strong. He was completely human and completely righteous. The paintings depict him human. He looks weak because we know him strong. When he was alive he was just a man. A holy man, but just a man. Seems weak just talking like that. But it's true.

There is no real image of Jesus, most images we see are interpretations, therefor we truly don't know what Jesus looked like.
