This is the painting (10ft high) from 1667 made by an artist called Jürgen Ovens, he studied in the netherlands in the 17th century.
Okay, I can find nothing about the provenance of this painting. Jurgen Ovens was a well-respected portraitist who resided in Germany at the time. However, I cannot find this painting in any catalog of his works.
It is mentioned that he painted the altarpiece for the church Sankt-Christophorus-Kirche, Friedrichstadt. However, the painting Hans supplies is not that altarpiece. This is the Ovens painting in the church. The interior of the church is photographed extensively here. Hans' painting is not visible in those pictures. Ovens also painted The Blue Madonna for Schleswig Cathedral. That isn't Hans' painting, either.
In any case, you can see a sample of 22 of Ovens' works here. It stands to reason that if the man was fond of mirror imagery, it would show up in other paintings. To my eye, mirroring these paintings would not produce anything recognizable. Certainly, the portraits do not lend themselves to such tricks.
Absent further information, I am unable to determine whether the artist was prone to hide easter eggs in his works (although Ovens painted himself into crowds a couple of times).
Its a bit of snarky know-it-all-ism you find most commonly hereat JREFon the internet.
I saw, that Kubrick used elements and "tricks" in his movie, which the builders and the painters also have used.These painters and builders are normaly in my interest.
Kubrick used these rules and developed them until he could use them in his movies.
So I use the same routines to find his intention. (iconologic analysis).
I think his hints are adressed to other directors.
BTW : Can you understand my "Krautenglish" easy.
Regards Hans

It is in Schleswig Cathedral, chorus northern sideship.
1. What evidence do you have that the human subconscious does or even can create mirror images?
2. What evidence do you have that individuals will mirror an image from the left side instead of the right, or top to bottom or any other type of inversion?
3. I notice you only show the bottom half of the painting in the mirrored photoshop. Why is that? If the painter intended to encode a mirrored image, wouldn't he have made the top of the painting meaningful as well. It looks to me like it would become nothing. Why are you only focusing on the parts of the painting that support your imagination?

Blue Madonna is also a nice one. She's in the longhause, northern sideship middle section.

138. * Sieg des Christentums über die Sünde.
Ein Engel im Trauergewande schwebt auf einer
dunklen Wolke, die Nägel des Kreuzes in der
rechten Hand und das Kreuz selbst im linken
Arme haltend. In der Mitte des Kreuzes ist das
Auge der Vorsehung abgebildet und über dem
Kreuze flattert die rote Siegesfahne mit dem Bilde
von der Auferstehung des Erlösers. Rechts von
diesem Engel halten zwei in Schmerz versunkene
andere Engel ein aufgerolltes Blatt, auf welchem
der Sündenfall der ersten Menschen in grauer
Farbe dargestellt ist. Links hält ein dritter Engel
ein Bild empor, auf welchem man die Geburt
des Heilandes sieht. Neben diesem Engel hebt
noch ein anderer Palmen und Lorbeerzweige in
die Höhe, während eine Schlange der Hölle voller
Verzweiflung über den Anblick des gnadenreichen
Bildes sich in Gluten wälzt. Aus der düster
gähnenden Tiefe der höllischen Mächte züngeln
grelle Flammen empor. Zwischen dem Engel,
der das Kreuz, und dem, der die Palmen trägt,
deutet ein nur zur Hälfte sichtbarer Engel freudig
auf die Schlange hin und "senkt seine Augen ab-
wärts, als ob er den niederschwebenden himm-
lischen Gestalten und der Welt den Sieg ver-
künden wollte. Oben in der reinen Himmels-
luft singen himmlische Heerscharen Loblieder und
blasen auf Pbsaunen, von der heiligen Cäcilia
an der Orgel begleitet, die aus Gewölk und Engels-
chören hervortaucht.
Bezeichnet: I. Ovens 1664.
Auf Leinen; h. 2,51 m; br. 1,63 m.
Dom zu Schleswig.
Thanks. Now would you please answer my questions:
Interesting, maybe I'll pay "him" a visit.
1.) It was found by the sience in the last century. It called "Gesichterkennung" in German. It's a separate section in the brain.
2.) A face could only be mirrowed in vertical axis. If you mirrow right to left, you get no face. The guy pointed it out " turn left to right ".
3.) I took only a detail, to get a bigger picture in the posting. If you want, you can get the whole picture mirrowed.
and the date was 1667, I failed, because I took it from my head as I wrote 1664 in the posting. This story happend in 2003. It was 10 years ago.
The virgin is a "she". They also say the Mona Lisa, she is hanging in Paris.
Can we forget about this nonsensical sidetrack, and get back to the topic of the thread? Han's opinions can hardly be called a theory.
I meant the old Jürgen.
Or perhaps the horned-mirror-guy?
1. Source? And more detail please.
2. But there is no face in the first place. It only becomes one if you mirror it vertically and then you really have to look. All it becomes is this devil-ish figure. Now if our brains are supposed to find faces, which is true and proven, then that applies to human faces. Not devils and certainly not a "nose of a cattle."
