Beautifully done. I appreciate that they didn’t give home more facial expressions. He is above human passions and emotions and I think it’s inappropriate to depict Him that way in art.

Or, even worse, the effeminate Jesus.

I also dislike the effeminate depictions of St. Joseph that have been pretty popular and become widely circulated.
My profile image is my absolute favorite Sacred Heart image.

There are a ton of effeminate Sacred Heart images that popped up in the 19th century. Right now the one on the Fatima Center calendar I have is cringe-inducing:


I get Jesus is meant to be depicted as approachable, warm and loving; but this just makes Him look weak and a little light in the loafers. Not the King of the Universe as something like this:

Thanks.  It's amazing how close the images from "Classical Antiquity" got ... compared to the Shroud.  That's just a reflection of the fact that Tradition was strong.  Just as these images very much resemble Our Lord on the Shroud, so too the DOCTRINE of "Classical Antiquity" (i.e. that of the Fathers) also closely mirrors what was taught by Our Lord.
This makes me think of this:

Perhaps the traditional images came directly from the Shroud.

St. Basil the Great claimed that Jesus never laughed, and, I cannot remember which saint said it but there was one that even claimed He never smiled. Which makes sense given that His entire life was meant to be of the most intense suffering. This is not to detract from His interior joy through His union with the Father, but, the solemn Jesus matches His solemn character that comes through in the Gospels.
