In reply to:
Just an interesting idea from a 13th century Christian:

"Previously, God, who has neithera body nor a face, absolutely could not be represented by an image. but now that he has made himself visible in the flesh and has lived with men, I can make an image of what I have seen of God...and can contemplate the glory of the Lord, his face unveiled." -John Damascene



He never saw Christ in the flesh, and thus in vanity he would portray Him.
