EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Triumph of Catholic Doctrine, personified in St. Thomas Aquinas" fresco by Andrea di Bonaiuto. Located in the Spanish Chapel of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy, this masterpiece is a visual representation of the profound influence and significance of Catholic doctrine. In the center of the composition stands St. Thomas Aquinas, an esteemed theologian and philosopher known for his intellectual contributions to Catholicism. He is surrounded by Doctors of the Church, symbolizing their collective wisdom and authority. Gothic choir stalls adorned with 14 female figures representing Arts and Sciences further enhance the grandeur of this artwork. These figures embody knowledge and creativity that are essential elements within Catholic doctrine. Beneath these symbolic representations lie historical individuals who exemplify virtues associated with arts, sciences, and theology. However, amidst these virtuous figures lurk three heretics - Arius, Averroes, and Sabellius - serving as a reminder of challenges faced by Catholic doctrine throughout history. The painting's intricate details showcase angels adorning St. Thomas Aquinas' throne while winged virtues hover above him. This celestial presence emphasizes divine guidance bestowed upon those who uphold Catholic teachings. Captured beautifully by photographer Raffaello Bencini, this print immortalizes a significant piece of religious artistry that continues to inspire awe among viewers worldwide.
