EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St Thomas Aquinas, a prominent 13th-century Italian philosopher and theologian. With his piercing gaze fixed upon an open book, he exudes wisdom and intellectual curiosity. As a member of the Dominican order, Aquinas dedicated his life to studying under the renowned Albertus Magnus at Cologne. Renowned for his commentaries on Aristotle, Aquinas is revered by the Catholic church as its greatest theologian. The presence of a dove perched upon his shoulder symbolizes the Holy Spirit's guidance in his scholarly pursuits. The image showcases Aquinas' profound connection with literature and philosophy, emphasizing his occupation as a monk deeply engrossed in reading. His halo signifies his sanctity and spiritual enlightenment. Hailing from Italy during medieval times, this portrait reflects both the religious fervor that permeated society and the intellectual advancements made during this era. Aquinas stands as a testament to Christian theology's influence on medieval thought. As we delve into this mesmerizing print by St Thomas Aquinas himself (although created by an unknown artist), we are transported back to an age where faith intertwined seamlessly with reason. It serves as a reminder of how one man's dedication to knowledge can shape not only religious discourse but also philosophical thinking for centuries to come.
