The Head of Christ is a painting created by Warner Sallman (1892-1968). This piece of Christian artwork was painted in 1940 and by 1992 it had been printed over 500 million times. Large size copies of the Head of Christ have been made for churches and small pocket or wallet-sized prayer cards bearing the image have been mass produced for private devotional use. The painting is said to have become the basis for [the] visualization of Jesus for hundreds of millions of people.
