This anonymous 16th-century print, "Portret van Thomas van Aquino," depicts the famed philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas in profile. The engraving is framed in a decorative architectural style with a coat of arms at the top and a Latin inscription at the bottom. The use of a formal portrait style, combined with the intricate architectural details, contributes to a sense of gravitas and erudition, befitting the subject. The print, measuring 330 mm x 243 mm, is a testament to the legacy of Thomas Aquinas, who continues to be a significant figure in theological and philosophical discourse.
