All-seeing Eye of God modern Russian icon hand painted 31x26 cm

All-seeing Eye of God modern Russian icon hand painted 31x26 cm. This Eye of Providence icon represents one of the most intricate symbolic structures, where the Lord is symbolized as the sun, source of light, and divine knowledge is represented by the eye, or the all-seeing eye of God. At the center of the icon is the circle from which four rays radiate, surrounded by a large circle with images of the evangelists or their symbols. A second circle simulates the human face with four eyes, a nose and lips, and bears the inscription celebrating the magnificence of the Lord. Above, the Virgin Mary is depicted with her hands raised. The third circle, crossed by thick rays, embodies the Sun of Truth, Jesus Christ, accompanied by writings that invite you to place yourself under his protection. The fourth, and largest circle, shows a starry sky with three seraphim and words that identify them as the word of God. At the top, a semicircle represents the Heaven of Heavens, with three seraphim surrounding the Lord of hosts who blesses. From the Lord the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove on the Virgin Mary. In the four corners of the icon, between the third and fourth circles, we find the symbols of the evangelists: Matthew as an angel, Mark as an eagle, Luke as an ox and John as a lion, each representing different aspects of the evangelical message.
