JESUS AS THE GOOD SHEPHERD
In the earliest depictions of Jesus—in the Roman catacombs—there is no attempt to portray him as he may have looked in life. Rather, the first Christians relied on long-established conventions and types borrowed from pagan art. In their depiction of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, for instance, he is shown as the typical beardless youth of pagan mythological art. In fact, the whole scene is simply a re-presentation of the conventional portrayal of the Greek hero Orpheus.
ORPHEUS WITH THE ANIMALS
The Greek hero Orpheus, who, because he was known to have pacified wild beasts with his music, was always shown surrounded by peaceful animals.
ORANS FIGURE
Many of the figures of early Christian art are Christians themselves, anonymous to us, shown in their customary attitude of prayer, palms raised in front of them (the same posture that Muslims adopt to this day). This orans (or praying) figure was found in the Catacomb of Santa Priscilla, named for the same Prisca (Priscilla being the affectionate diminutive) who befriended Paul.
PETER AND PAUL
From the earliest attempts to depict them, Peter and Paul are shown not as conventional types but as real men with specific physical characteristics, leading us to the conclusion that their visages were well known to many Christians, especially in Rome, where both apostles spent their last years. Peter (left) is normally the larger of the two and has a round, sympathetic face, surrounded by curly white hair of head and beard. Paul (right) is smaller and leaner, usually with a pointed beard and sharp features and always bald. When the artist is skillful enough, Paul is inevitably represented with lines of tension across his brow.
