So i wanted to ask this question:
Is it a sin if someone who looks a painting or a statue of Our Lord finds him attractive? (not sexually, of course)
 
No, as long as you’re not sexualizing Him. Most people who have painted or sculpted likenesses of Jesus (or Mary) have made them physically attractive. It’s fine to recognize that.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that statues are just artistic representations and we’re not sure exactly what Jesus looked like on Earth.

Of course it’s not a sin, as long as it’s not sexual. Jesus in his glorified body IS attractive.

St. Faustina, who saw approved visions of Jesus, thought he was beautiful and cried because the painting of him didn’t capture his beauty.
