Because they would have had to have painted it and he was a poor carpenter who could never hope to afford such a thing that and because of primitive painting techniques it would have been inaccurate. Despite all that and the fact we have not found an image it does not necessarily mean there was never a picture simply that we have not found one yet or that we have found one and simply did not recognize it because we know not what Jesus looked like.
