A mysterious painting of Jesus Christ attracts people from all over the Czech Republic. The painting shows the face of the Son of God with eyes that open and close. Many visitors to the "Handricat Gallery" in Pilsen run by Oldrich Klima ask whether it is just a light trick or something more spiritual.

Jesus with closed eyes - this is the figure presented by this 150-year-old oil painting... but is it really?

You only need to take a step back and the Son of God will look at you with open eyes.

"It is truly a mysterious thing. Everyone who looks at the painting agrees that there is something profound inside it. Some people come back again and again to see it again," says the antiquarian Oldrich Klima. The painting, painted by an unknown artist, was once bought by Klim himself. Since he put it up in his shop in Pilsen, he has had many visitors.

"People react to the painting in different ways, some positively, others negatively. When I saw it for the first time, I was terrified. Now I am friendly towards it. It has good qualities and I do not see any evil in it," says Klima.

One viewer of the painting claimed that it depicts both an angel and a devil. No one knows, however, whether this was the artist's intention.
