Just considering it interesting to share. Focus with your eyes in each eye of Jesus seperately, and you will see two different sides of him. Nice inspiration of the hagiographer. It would be much better if I had a bigger image but could not found now.
Interesting artistic twist. One of the things that you might notice, is that a person's face is not symmetrical. Look at a picture of any person. Cover up one side of the face, and then the other. You will find that the person looks completely different, from one side to the other.
I remember reading an article about this years ago. The writer had taken one side of a picture of some famous persons' faces, and flipped them, so that they were the same on both sides. The individuals looked very different, and rather strange.
this is one kind of image of jesus that im seeing for the first time.
the difference in the eyes are obvious.
er......is there any one who thinks that , probably, this is not an image of jesus?
It is an image of Jesus. This is an Orthodox impression of Jesus, the images you usually see are probably Catholic or Protestant, quite different.
Interesting, Ellinas. The drummer in our band was Jewish on his father's side and married a Greek orthodox girl. His comment upon marriage:
Well, at least we won't have any religious hang-up's.<smile> Yes, the differences are obvious, and Phoenix is correct. We do have a "best side" to our profile.
If I stare at one side awhile he looks like a radical zionist zealot.... if look at the other side long enough.... he looks like an islamofascist. Scary.
For some reason that picture is a bit disturbing.
Could just be me.
He certainly shows a talent for prescience, what with the cross on the book 'n'all.
I've seen people eyes get like that when they've gotten conked on the head.
Yeah, that's a little creepy.
For right handers the right side of the body is used more than the left, this includes facial gestures and expressions. That is why the right side of the face tends to look more intense than the left.
