Why do all depictions of Jesus Christ look the same?

What is the history of the development of his image?

This is based under the assumption that we don’t know what he may have actually looked like and also that the depictions I’ve seen are indeed the most common, i.e. long hair, bearded, prominent nose, high cheekbones etc.
