Beautiful Pictures of Jesus by Heinrich Hofmann (1824-1911)

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here are some beautiful pictures of Jesus that I have never seen before, by the

painter Heinrich Hofmann (1824-1911). Heinrich Hofmann has been mentioned as an

exceptional painter of depictions of Jesus, by Paramahansa Yogananda, who says

that:

 

" Jesus did not have a light complexion with blue eyes and blond hair as many

Western painters have depicted him. His eyes were dark brown, and he had the

olive-colored skin of his Asiatic heritage. His nose was a little flattened at

the tip. His moustache, sparse beard, and long hair were black. His face and

body were beautifully formed. Of all the pictures I have seen of him in the

West, the rendering by Hofmann comes closest to showing the accurate features of

the incarnate Jesus. "

 

Paramahansa Yogananda, (xxvii) The Second Coming of Christ, Volume I

 

So, i googled for the depictions of Heinrich Hofmann and i hope you enjoy

them--as i did.

 

Enjoy!
