It shows what all paintings in churches show: gods and how Christians perceive them (as sky pixies). You don't think they show Chuck E cheese founder Nolan Bushnell?
No Christian I know of believes God is a wish granting genie. When Christians pray, there is this acknowledgement that everything is at the end of the day according to God's will not to one's own wishes. That's first.
Second, speaking of Catholicism, have you read the Catechism? It's pretty clear there that God is not some limited physical being that is as illustrated in these paintings. Paintings illustrate but do not necessarily show what Catholic Church actually believe.
