Head of Christ by Mark Edward Westerfield after MB Card

Head of Christ by Mark Edward Westerfield after MB Card
Computer colorization after a photo of an all white Carrara Marble
BUST OF CHRIST THE SAVIOR re-attributed to MICHELANGELO in 2026.

Lost Michelangelo re-attributed by found paperwork historic documents.

Marble bust of Christ the Savior. It sat hidden in plain sight at Rome's Basilica of Sant'Agnese fuori le mura.

"Brethren of the most Holy Crucifix"

"The Brotherhood of the Most Holy Crucifix"

"The Compagnia del Santissimo Crocifisso"

Gemini helped me a lot with this version.

I asked Gemini for help using a long specific detailed prompt:

Chocolate dark brown hair and beard keeping the sculptural look of the all white Carrara Marble 16th Century (1500's) Italian Art Renaissance Period sculpture found in Rome The Bust of Christ the Savior re-attributed to Michelangelo in March 2026, beautiful reflective brown kind eyes, Middle Eastern / Jew / Hebrew complexion with noble regal nose and high cheek bones, slightest pink tint to the cheeks, and pure white robe with shiny metallic pure gold look trim at the neck line. I had deleted the busy background in the photo so I could experiment with various backgrounds myself.

I applied a slight vignette gradient to the pale buff background to suggest a hint of halo look.

I think this has been my best version so far. I hope you love this. I am in the process of posting 3 sizes of cards, a historical postcard, T-Shirts, ceramic coffee mugs, fine art print posters, fine art canvas prints, and more.

THANK YOU, my friends!
