A new four-part series exploring how Christ's image has been shaped over 2,000 years, presented by Neil MacGregor, director of London's National Gallery.

Although no portraits of Christ were made during his lifetime and no descriptions of him exist in the Bible, people have clear ideas about what he looked like. MacGregor goes to Italy, Spain and Peru to find out how artists arrived at the familiar facial image.
