EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of St. Thomas Aquinas, created by the talented artist Cornelis Boel in the late 16th century. The portrait captures the essence of this revered figure, who was an Italian philosopher, theologian, and doctor of the Church during the 13th century. St. Thomas Aquinas is depicted with a serene expression on his face, embodying wisdom and deep contemplation. His affiliation with the Dominican Order is evident through his monk's attire and priestly garments. A symbol of enlightenment, a dove hovers above him as if to signify divine inspiration guiding his thoughts. The composition exudes symbolism associated with Christianity; from his halo representing holiness to various religious symbols such as papal crown and tiara denoting his significant influence within Roman Catholicism. Boel's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance in this remarkable engraving, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation. As we gaze upon this striking image of St. Thomas Aquinas, we are reminded of his profound contributions to theology and philosophy that continue to shape our understanding today. It serves as a timeless reminder of how faith can intertwine with intellectual pursuits in pursuit of greater spiritual enlightenment.
