Neither do you, apparently.
Actually, I wrote an instruction manual for intermediate oil painters, have given gallery talks on painting methods, and am a semi-professional oil painter with gallery representation in Chicago. First, the pigments available to medieval artists were made almost exclusively from finely ground minerals none of which are present on the shroud. Secondly, no artist in the medieval period would have been familiar with the geometry necessary to produce a distorted image that could be translated accurately into a 3D model (as has recently been done). Nor does the image reflect any of the artistic conventions of the period. Personally, I haven't a clue about how the image got on to the cloth. But one thing is certain. It is definitely not a painting.
