How many paintings do we have of Jesus' contemporaries? It doesn't seem to me like portraiture was very common back in 1st century Palestine.
And your website is quite a bit off, Harry. The majority of biblical scholars, secular as well as Christian, think that the gospels were all written in the first century, with John being the latest at around 90 CE, and Mark the first, written around 60 CE. Some Christian scholars, with the theory that Matthew was written first, date them even earlier.
