The True Image of Jesus
from the Shroud of Turin
my story
As a professional artist whose paintings sell for upwards of $9,000, I recently felt deeply called to study and interpret the Shroud of Turin — a relic believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. What struck me most was that the Shroud holds an image so uncannily photographic, although photography didn’t exist at that time.
While early carbon dating once raised doubts about the Shroud’s age, modern scientific methods have strengthened the case that it truly dates back to the first century. Experts agree the image shows a man, around thirty years old, who was crucified and tortured exactly as historical records describe Jesus’s death — the wounds match in every detail.
One remarkable theory suggests that the image was created by a burst of radiant energy at the moment of resurrection — a mystery still beyond modern science.
I felt compelled to study this image closely and recreate what Jesus themay have looked like in life. In the Shroud, his mouth is tightly clenched in death; I relaxed his jaw in my portrait to reflect life. His eyes are closed in eternal rest, so I painted them open, alive with presence.
To guide my work, I relied on the ancient historian Josephus, who described Jesus as a young man about six feet tall, with hair the color of new wine — a reddish-brown hue — and striking blue eyes. I brought these details to life in my painting.
When I finished, I was truly amazed. His face radiates compassion, love, and deep empathy. His eyes are riveting — filled with warmth and an indescribable love. I wished everyone could see what I was able to draw out from the Shroud. the Shroud is, to me, actually a negative image. To reveal its true details, I used special applications to convert it back into a photographic positive—uncovering features the eye would otherwise miss.
Through this painting, I hope to share this extraordinary vision so others can contemplate the mystery, history, and power of the Shroud of Turin—and the life it once covered. I believe that having a copy of this print will be a consxtant reminder of the Covenant God, Our Heavenvly Father, made with Hi people, us, through the Atonement of his only begotten son, Jesus. So, therefore, I would like to share this print wil all who ask for it. Please see the next box to order your copy.
