About the Painting

To know Jesus is to also know where God sent His son to be born. I came across a History Article discussing what Jesus would have looked like. What these historians and archeologists found shocked me in a humble way… it made me wonder why so many artists depicted Jesus as looking European (fair-skinned) when we know he was from the middle-east, Palestinean. If this man was indeed born of a woman from Nazareth, he would not have been a fair-skinned man… he would have been of middle eastern descent, a darker brown skin. I feel saddened that more artists haven’t picked up on this important detail – because representation does matter as we seek to come together – all of us in all of our differences – pure in heart – as followers of Jesus, a son of a very loving Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother… Heavenly Parents who love and embrace all of their children. I am grateful for the creators of The Chosen series who brought these historical accuracies to light for millions of viewers. I am grateful that they decided also, that representation matters in every detail as we seek to know Jesus.

About the Artist

Rebecca Emily Cooper

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
