Soli Deo gloria is a Latin phrase meaning "Glory to God alone." It is one of the five solas that form the basis of the reformational movement at the time of the Reformation, but also form the basis for this Christian movement today. A variant of Soli Deo gloria is "Deo Gratias", which roughly translates as "Give thanks to God".
Artists often signed their artworks in this way to indicate that they considered the work to be a work of God.
