EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Triumph of Saint Thomas Aquinas on the heretics" fresco, painted by Filipino Lippi in 1488. The artwork is located in the Chiesa di Santa Maria sopra Minerva, specifically in the Cappella Carafa, Rome. In this scene, Saint Thomas Aquinas stands at the center surrounded by four female figures symbolizing philosophy, astronomy, theology, and grammar. In the background of this magnificent composition lies a breathtaking view of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran with an equestrian monument dedicated to Marc Aurele. The juxtaposition of these elements adds depth and grandeur to Lippi's masterpiece. The foreground depicts Arius and Sabellicus defeated as they kneel before Saint Thomas Aquinas. Their discarded books lie abandoned on the floor beneath them—a powerful visual representation of their defeat against reason and truth. Through his masterful use of color and detail, Lippi brings this historical moment to life within a sacred space. This print allows viewers to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance captured by Luisa Ricciarini's lens. Whether you are a lover of art or history, this image invites you to immerse yourself in its rich symbolism and marvel at Lippi's artistic prowess. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and intellectual triumph over heresy—an enduring reminder that knowledge can conquer ignorance.
