Auge der Vorsehung
In late Renaissance European iconography, the Eye of Providence, surrounded by a triangle, was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts. The Eye of God in a triangle is still used in church architecture and Christian art to symbolize the Trinity and God's omnipresence and divine providence. The Eye of Providence is depicted on the backside of the U.S. $1 bill between the words, "Annuit cœptis", which translates as "Providence favors our undertakings" or "Providence has favored our undertakings".
