20TH C PAINTING - JESUS & ALL SEEING20TH C PAINTING - JESUS & ALL SEEING EYE - OUTSIDER ART...**Originally Listed At $400**
American, 20th century. Inscribed "Erminie and E. Mosh 5-1:48" at lower right. A special Outsider Art painting on canvas with a multifaceted religious theme. At the lower right, the artist -whose identity is suggested by "Erminie" and "E. Mosh" - has inscribed a reference to the Gospel According to Matthew Chapter 5:1-48. Christ is depicted at the center wearing a crown with a Cross over His chest. The Eye of Providence (also known as All Seeing Eye of God) is painted above, watching over humanity. Some also interpret the all-seeing eye as a representation of the Trinity, while others interpret it as a good luck charm. This eye is flanked by winged beings - an angel, a winged eye, and doves that perhaps symbolize the Holy Spirit - various symbols of God's omniscience. An image of the head of Christ with a 5-pointed star on his forehead above burning flames of purgatory as well as an erupting volcano above a verdant landscape further contribute to the composition. Size of sight view: 17.5" L x 23.5" W (44.4 cm x 59.7 cm) Size of frame: 22.2" L x 28.2" W (56.4 cm x 71.6 cm)
This otherworldly composition is delineated in a tranquil color palette including shades of sky blue, rose, citrine, peach, lemon yellow, teal, aqua, sienna brown, lavender, and cornflower blue - mounted behind glass in an attractive custom frame.

MESOPOTAMIAN LAPIS LAZULI, STONE,MESOPOTAMIAN LAPIS LAZULI, STONE, & BONE EYESAncient Near East, Mesopotamia, ca. 2900 to 2250 BCE. A haunting pair of eyes boasting white sclerae hand-carved from the bone of an ungulate with inlays of black stone pegs forming the pupils. Each are encased on their sides and verso by a lapis lazuli stone of vibrant blue that has been hollowed out, forming eyelids. These would have been inlaid into a composite figure. As seeing was a major channel of communication with gods, eye inlays such as these may have been used in the composite figure of a worshipper to express the figure's admiration for a god and accentuate the awe-inspiring nature of that god. Enlarged eyes were also a conventional means of warding off evil in Mesopotamia, known today as an apotropaic device. Size of eyes (both about the same): 1.3" L x 0.9" W x 1" H (3.3 cm x 2.3 cm x 2.5 cm); (case): 4.8" L x 2.5" W x 1.7" H (12.2 cm x 6.4 cm x 4.3 cm)
Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 62.70.84. A slightly larger Mesopotamian eye inlay made completely of stone was sold for $35,000 at Christie's New York as lot 78 in the "Antiquities" auction of June 4th, 2008 (live auction 2007).
