Kaleigh McKinney, seventeenth century art


Ventura Selimbeni painted this image in the mid 1600's. It can be found in the church of St. Peter in Montalcino in Sienna, Italy. The reason I found it comical or interesting is because God and Jesus seem to be holding wands controlling the Earth. I had never seen or considered this opinion before and found it quite interesting. There are other opinions surrounding this painting however, some consider the globe to be a UFO with the portal or lens opening near Jesus's left foot.
