Is this the face of Jesus as a boy? Italian police reverse the ageing process on image taken from the Turin Shroud to create photo-fit of Christ as a young child

This is the face of Jesus Christ as a child – according to Italian police.

Detectives used computer forensic techniques that have helped to catch mafia bosses to generate the image.

First, they created a photo-fit picture from the facial image in the Turin Shroud, which many believe to be that of Jesus. They then used a computer program to reverse the ageing process by reducing the jaw size, slimming the face and softening the eyes to arrive at the younger Christ.

Italian police use the same digital techniques, but in reverse, to create updated photo-fit images of fugitive mafia bosses whose faces have not been seen for years.

Ah, you mean the inscription? The text under it, "Господь вседержитель" is in Russian, it means "Lord the Sovereign". The markings on the left and right, "ИС ХС" is abbreviated "Jesus Christ" in Greek. The letters on the nimbus, "ο ΩΝ" are Greek and mean "The Existence", meaning that God is the only one Who is.

“Mylar?”

Yes. I use the ‘one side mat finish’ - it has good tooth...and can be ‘fixed’ with workable fixative as it progresses.

Holds the colors true - and is archival

(I like to experiment - I like Bristol board for pencil -
and I do silver point - have to prepare surface with several layers of gesso (easier than making rabbit glue and grinding down bones for powder like the Old Masters! ;)...)

I get the mylar with one side having a mat finish - which renders it’s l00kking like frosted glass -

The colors don’t absorb as they do with pastel paper - they stay true & bright

I’ll have to try the back-lighting! Intriguing...

Mylar has nearly the same optical properties as glass, so the back-lighting of the painting should give it a warm glow and perhaps a possible 3D depth perception, depending on the optical transmission of the paints used....................
