'''''The All-Pervading''''' is an allegorical painting produced between 1887 and 1890 by the English artist [[George Frederic Watts]]. Influenced by the Sibyls of the [[Sistine Chapel ceiling]], it symbolises the spirit Watts saw as governing "the immeasurable expanse". He presented it to the Tate Gallery in 1899 and it is now on loan from [[Tate Britain]] to the [[Watts Gallery]] in [[Compton, Guildford]]. He also produced a variant on it as the altarpiece for the [[Watts Mortuary Chapel]].
