The Hand of God, or Manus Dei in Latin, also known as Dextera domini/dei (the "right hand of God"), is a motif in Jewish and Christian art, especially of the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods, when depiction of Yahweh or God the Father as a full human figure was considered unacceptable. The hand, sometimes including a portion of an arm, or ending about the wrist, is used to indicate the intervention in or approval of affairs on Earth by God, and sometimes as a subject in itself. It is an artistic metaphor that is generally not intended to indicate that a hand was physically present or seen at any subject depicted. The Hand is seen appearing from above in a fairly restricted number of narrative contexts, often in a blessing gesture (in Christian examples), but sometimes performing an

  • Die Hand Gottes ist ein sehr altes und weit verbreitetes religiöses Symbol für die Macht Gottes, das insbesondere in der Heiligen Schrift Verwendung findet. Bereits im Alten Ägypten wurden Göttern durch gestische Darstellungen Segens- und Schutzfunktionen, sowie die Macht zum Strafen zuerkannt, wie es am Zeichen für Ka zu sehen ist. Im hinduistisch-buddhistischen Bereich kommt der Hand Gottes in der Mudra-Geste eine besondere Bedeutung zu. (de)
  • Dextera Domini, a l'art, és la representació de la mà de Déu, una forma usada per les religions fortament monoteistes com el judaisme, per mostrar la intervenció divina en un determinat context. S'ha de tenir en compte que a l'Antic Testament hi ha una prohibició expressa de representar Déu. Així una imatge d'una mà que baixa del cel o apareix sola (sense cos) serveix per mostrar una intervenció divina. Existeixen també textos de l'Antic Testament que semblen sostenir aquest tema iconogràfic (cf. Ex 15, 6; Sal 19, 7; Sal 79, 16-18; Sal 117, 16). A les cultures orientals del període s'associa la mà al poder regi i fins i tot se li concedeix un poder taumatúrgic doncs mitjançant la mà passarien les forces divines que permeten, per exemple, la curació.

  • En arte, la representación de la mano de Dios es una forma usada por las religiones monoteístas, e inicialmente por el judaísmo,​ para mostrar la intervención divina en un determinado contexto.​ Se ha de tener en cuenta que en el Antiguo Testamento hay una prohibición expresa de representar a Dios. Así una imagen de una mano que baja del cielo o aparece sola (sin cuerpo) sirve para mostrar una intervención divina. Existen también textos del Antiguo Testamento que parecen sostener este tema iconográfico (cf. Es 15:6; Sal 19:7; Sal 79:16-18; Sal 117:16). En las culturas orientales del período, se asocia la mano al poder regio e incluso se le concede un poder taumatúrgico, pues, a través de la mano pasarían las fuerzas divinas que permiten, por ejemplo, la curación.

  • La mano di Dio, o manus Dei in latino, detta anche dextera Domini o dextera Dei, "la [mano] destra di Dio", è un motivo dell'arte ebraica e cristiana, specialmente dell'antichità e del primo medioevo, quando la rappresentazione di Dio Padre, a figura intera, era considerata inaccettabile. La mano, a volte, includeva una porzione di un braccio o del polso ed era usata per indicare l'intervento o l'approvazione di cose terrene da parte di Dio e talvolta come soggetto a sé. È una metafora artistica che non è generalmente utilizzata per indicare che una mano è fisicamente presente o notata in qualsiasi soggetto raffigurato. La mano appare dall'alto in un numero abbastanza ristretto di contesti narrativi, spesso in un gesto di benedizione (negli esempi cristiani), ma a volte nell'esecuzione di (it)
