Antonio Forrés, philosopher and theologian, maintains that the authentic reality is in the interpersonal relationship with the other and “we relate to him through the face. Unlike a chair or a table with which we establish sensory relationships, with the faces we maintain an emotional and committed relationship ”. Once we can see the person's face, "this image generates empathy in the public because we can see ourselves represented in the characters, better understand society and see that we are not so different."

For the teacher María Inmaculada Alemán Aguilera, knowing the physical appearance of a historical figure helps us to know him better, "you will feel much closer to you."
