The Virgin and child with St Anne and St John the baptist


What to make of this horrifying face? The Mirror Foundation suggests it is topped by the Papal Tiara. Perhaps it portends the coming power of the Church. Or maybe it’s a helmeted centurion — a hint of the coming Crucifixion.


The meaning of this lurid image will be immediately obvious to those familiar with tantric iconography. This is an image of creation. The rock face has become the Tree of Life. Beneath it, Adam and Eve are engaged in coitus. Welcome to the Garden of Eden.


Notice the pointed hand? The Last Supper, Four sets of three around one means 12 around 1 = Creation.
