Looking for a Portrait of Christ, but I can't remember the artist or the title of the Portrait

[Beau]

I haven't seen it since highschool art class, and have for the longest time thought it was by Albrecht Durer, but I haven't been able to find it online, and Durrer's style doesn't seem to match what I remember the painting's style.

It's a dark-set portrait (near-to-black background), very highly detailed, photo-realistic, depicting Christ with a dark complexion and long curly hair. I seem to remember him being in a red robe.

Any ideas?

 

[Beau]

no one?

Guess this probably isn't the most artistic of communities.... 😛

Or maybe you aren't the most descriptive of people...?

 

[KLin]

Nope.

It's more photographic looking, darker set than that, straight-frontal view. Seems like he's in a red robe.

Well... no one has even asked for more details.

[Beau]

Nope, higher quality, and it's only of christ.

If that's not it, it's damn close.

Seems a little different from what I remember it looking.

I remember the colors being richer, robe style is different, and he is of a darker complexion (less caucasian looking).

Lighting plays a big part in the presentation as well. It's prolly different than seeing it in real life.

I haven't seen it since highschool art class

In a slide presentation.

It's very similar to the portrait that Coquito posted, but the robe is more of the traditional robe (no fur), and is a darker red. Also, his skin is more Arabic.

Albrecht Dürer, self-portrait , oil on wood panel, 1500, Alte Pinakothek, Munich. The resemblance to Jesus Christ is no accident. Dürer considered that God had created man in his own image.

Artist info & other pieces.

It may not even be by Durer, though I thought it was because of his attention to detail. And we learned about it the same day we looked at Durer's Praying Hands, so I may have the artists mixed up.

I stand corrected. He's still not Christ 😉
