that regardless of the picture and regardless of the fact the person viewing it has ever heard of Jesus Christ or not.
That Everyone can instantly point out who in a painting represents Jesus Christ Regardless of what age Jesus is depicted and regardless of who painted it.

Would that be classified as another mystery of Christ? I believe even those who do not know of Jesus must feel his presents withnin creation. He is all in all. Yes interesting.

Paintings, like other art forms follow certain conventions. Religious paintings even exaggerate them more. It does not take much skill to select the subject of a painting. Paintings are designed to draw the eye to the central figure, the main subject. Religious works are even more blunt about it. If you saw a painting of a crowd of people with every face turned to one person and that person painted to glow with a halo you would have no problem noticing the subject of the painting. If you told me the Subject was Jesus Christ then I would guess that the obvious subject of the painting was Jesus Christ, even if I knew nothing about how paintings are designed of who Jesus Christ was. I would not expect him to be skulking in the background. Why do religious assume that all people are idiots. Interesting, no, not in the least.
