Someday I'll see this painting in person

Take that, Averroes!
A buddy of mine just returned from a conference he attended in Florence, and, a few days later, he received this picture from someone he met at the conference. I spent a whole semester in Florence in 1981 during my junior year in college, and never actually went into the Spanish Chapel at Santa Maria Novella. It goes without saying that, now that I’ve devoted my academic life to studying Thomas, I won’t let that chance slip away again.
