POTD: The Eleventy-Seventh Portrait of Jesus

From 2022 11 03 Athens

"In oils and water,
The most painted soul endures,
Art's eternal muse."

—h/t ChatGPT

This photo-of-the-day was taken in Athens, Greece. Who is the most painted person in history? It's got to be Jesus, right? By a long shot. Wikipedia has a page devoted to a partial list. Wikipedia even has a page devoted to paintings of Jesus just in the Louvre, and even that is long. Anyway, no matter what the answer is, this artist at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, is adding to history's collection of Jesus art. And doing a pretty good job of it, too, in my untrained opinion.
