A rare window into the visionary world of Augustin Lesage, the French spiritualist painter whose vast, symmetrical “spirit-dictated” works positioned him as one of the most mysterious figures in Art Brut.

Created around 1925, Altar mit Priester und Madonna is a breathtaking watercolor—part cathedral, part cosmic diagram—constructed with impossible precision. Lesage believed that unseen forces guided his hand, dictating the architecture, symbols, and sacred figures that emerged on the page. The result is a composition overflowing with color, symmetry, and devotional geometry.

This modern IkonHaus restoration preserves every intricate detail: the radiant Madonna crowned above the altar, the angelic forms, the geometric panels, the woven patterns of sacred space. Presented on a clean, minimalist backdrop, the artwork’s intensity and balance take center stage—transforming a once-obscure esoteric painting into a museum-quality contemporary statement piece.

Below the artwork sits Lesage’s own confession of authorship, printed in French for authenticity:

Je ne suis pas l’auteur de mes œuvres…

les esprits guident ma main et commandent l’architecture.

— A. Lesage

Perfect for admirers of outsider art, mystical symbolism, sacred geometry, spiritualist history, visionary painters, and anyone who gravitates toward the strange and the transcendent. Each print is hand-numbered and archival, crafted to honor the mystery and mastery behind one of Europe’s most enigmatic artists.

Bring a piece of spiritualist art history into your space—an altar of color, symmetry, and otherworldly inspiration.
