Hi, guys —
- Is the image of Jesus based on the image of Cesare Borgia?
- How can we refute this claim?

Hi, Sophia —
This is a bizarre claim. I've never heard before but it's aptly refuted by the independent site Snopes.com:
- Jesus Precept
Rumors that the modern image of Jesus is modeled on Cesare Borgia, a gangster's son, do not stand up to scrutiny.
The upshot is that art prior to Borgia's birth shows these same common features.
