Every religion has its origin. Depiction of legends and characters in the various religious historical events are mainly influenced by the culture or the society in which the religion originated from.
Currently, most religions have spread beyond the borders of their country of origin. Nevertheless, these ancient idiosyncrasies remain unchanged.
Many styles and movements have occurred throughout the history of art but had not much influenced the depiction of these religious characters.
Taking Christianity as an example, the biblical events and characters are still depicted in the medieval and the renaissance art style.
Most contemporary artists try to mimic these two artistic styles when it comes to the depiction of biblical events and icons.
This had brought a lot of interracial debates especially in this 21st century.
