I believe this painting has elements of the Grail, and as mentioned in another post, symbolism of the 18th Degree To the left the landscape resembles Bugarach in Southern France. Rennes-le-Chateau, rich history including Celtic, The Knights Templar and the Cathars The grail story - spear, cup, child, stone, plate/dish, it is in my opinion the changes relate to the 18th degree - 5 3rd degree relation to the grail story is human regeneration

The fugitive stag represents the philosophers stone. Facing East. Could this as a whole relate to Shambhala?

>The fugitive stag represents the philosophers stone. I rather think that the fugitive stag represents the second mercury.

Interesting, and fits well with the story. Archaeus, a benevolent daemon

When I search for past experts with that region depicted in the painting, Boudet comes to mind La Vraie Langue Celtique On his grave stone in Axat cemetery there is a stone book with carved numerals Author H. Elie translates these as numerals read revered using Arabic and Roman numerals. 310 and 11. Boudets book with a page count of 310, page 11 "La pellicule du ble moulu est passe au blutoir se nomme, en dialecte Languedocien, BREN. " La bruyere si commune dans les Landes de la Gaule, s'appelle en Languedocien BRUGO, en Breton BRUK et BRUG, en Gallois GRUG et BRUG. " Brenac, and Brugairolles

The Church of Saint Julien and Saint Basilisse at Brenac portray the Tablets of the Law Any guidance would be appreciated to understanding this layout The Roman numerals 123, 567 are written on two separate tablets

You may note the dots next to each character - indicating that each word is abbreviated to a single letter. A modern example is U.S.A.
The characters are all Greek
Thus there is a statement concealed by only providing the first letter of each Greek word

The numbers on tablets of stone are usually shorthand for the 10 commandments. Even then there was a shortage of space. The entire imagery is in the heraldic tradition. It uses the fleur-de-lis which was used by French royalty and may also be a reference to the lily in the some versions of the Old Testament that was later said to refer to Christ.
At the top of the scene is an eagle (or possibly a phoenix). The eagle may be associated with the god of the Israelites.
Exodus 19 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself.

You are right peter it is similar to the Greek Fish and it's abbreviation. Sigma was carved in an odd fashion, why didn't they use Y instead of I. All the same I suppose

>eagles’ wings...has Freemasonry used this symbol in a similar style? The eagle in Freemasonry is usually the double headed eagle. This is not the god of Israel but rather the Ancient of Days. The double headed eagle is used by quite a lot of northern hemisphere countries but by none in the southern hemisphere. Here is Leonardo's depiction of the same entity. It is called the Wolf and Eagle. I seem to recall that the dog star (Sirius) is referred to as the Wolf of Heaven by the Chinese

Crossed Legs Cautes and Cautopates from Mithraism I find their posture is similar to how a Knight is positioned in this photo It can symbolize rebirth / resurrection Krishna shown below has a similar crossing to the painting, Christ also had his legs crossed

18th degree reference The Stag could also refer to the Crown of Thorns

>It can symbolize rebirth / resurrection
Of whom? Since the crossed legs is very strong in Mithraic imagery, it cannot be Jesus.
>The Stag could also refer to the Crown of Thorns
The fugitive stag is an important image in alchemy, indicating that the spirit of mercury must be contained very carefully or it will be lost.
