When a gravitational lens magnifies a background galaxy, why don't we see the object doing the lensing, as we would if looking through an optical lens?

Gravitational lensing is one of the more beautiful and unusual phenomena physicists have predicted and astronomers have stumbled across. When the gravity of a foreground galaxy distorts and magnifies light from a background galaxy, the result is either a single Einstein ring or multiple images of the object.
