The bronze Saint Thomas Aquinas statue is very magnificent, showing the glorious image of a wise man. On one hand, the pages of the “Summa Theologica” are arranged, transforming into a sacred dove poised to ascend into paradise, symbolizing his unity with the Holy Spirit.
At his feet, he stands atop an Ionic column, which is more slender than the typical Doric column often portrayed in art. Beside him, the bust of Aristotle pays homage to the Greek philosopher whose influence Aquinas expanded upon, highlighting his deep connection to classical philosophy.
Draped in a cloak, the philosopher holds a quill, representing his scholarly prowess and dedication to knowledge. Interestingly, while many depictions of Aquinas portray him as somewhat diminutive, at least one passerby perceives him as taller, emphasizing the grandeur of his intellect and contributions. This statue beautifully captures the essence of Saint Thomas Aquinas, celebrating his role as a bridge between faith and reason.
