Justus van Gent portrait of Saint Thomas, etc.


Just found a unique portrait of Saint Thomas Aquinas by the 15th century Flemish artist Justus van Gent, fitting for The Angelic and Common Doctor's feast today.



Gent also painted one of Thomas' Master, Saint Albert the Great.



And one also of Blessed Duns Scotus.



There is a famous Last Supper scene by Gent.



And, finally, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has this Gent Adoration of the Magi.
