I imagine that the historically white representation of Jesus is more a result of the Patronage system, rather than the 'idiocy' of the artists themselves.

In other words, blame the Aristocracies and Theocracies who commissioned the works, rather than the Artists.

Hmm. Is an Artist who pursues a Platonic ideal through his medium while burdened with cultural solipsism, being an idiot or merely ignorant? Discuss.
