La Vittoria di san Tommaso d'aquino sulla tentazione 1628

"La Vittoria di san Tommaso d'aquino sulla tentazione" is a 1628 painting by Venetian artist Palma il Giovane. The painting depicts the triumph of Saint Thomas Aquinas over temptation, a popular theme in religious art. It is characterized by strong contrasts of light and shadow, as well as a dramatic composition. The central figure of Saint Thomas is shown kneeling in prayer, surrounded by angels who are assisting him in his struggle against temptation. The angels appear to represent God's grace and the power of faith, while the demons are shown as shadowy figures who are trying to drag him away from his devotion. This painting highlights the power of faith and the struggle against temptation. It is a classic example of the Baroque style, with its use of dramatic lighting, movement, and emotional intensity.
