Images of Jesus was not there in the old testament.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main characteristics of Reformation art sprang from Protestant theology which focused on the individual relationship between the worshiper and God. This emphasis was reflected in the number of common people and ordinary everyday scenes that were portrayed in Protestant art.

In the old testament it is said that Jesus first appeared in the form of Angel and there were no exact images of Jesus Christ prescribed in The old testament.
