Thank you. I did not know about that.

I will have to do more research, but it does help answer the question of why Jesus is often depicted as blue-eyed and fair haired in art.

That, and the understandable intention by all artists to depict Him as exemplifying their ideal of beauty. You find blue-eyed blonde Christs in European art. In other cultures there are other standards of perfection.
