About this work
Saint Thomas of Aquino sits next to his writing desk. On the table, a stack of books and a crucifix. In his hand, he holds a quill pen. An angel flies in with the model of a church, illuminated by a beam of light from his pen. Behind him, an angel with an open book. At his feet lie three figures symbolizing Deceit and Heresy. In the sky, three angels fly carrying the portrait of Pope Clemens XI.
