In the center, Triumph of St. Thomas Aquinas over Heresy. The Saint, in Dominican dress, is seated in the chair surrounded by personifications of Grammar, Rhetoric, Theology and Philosophy. Error defeated, devoured by impotent rage, is seated at his feet. A view of Rome is in the background. The Lateran Basilica and Palace can be seen on the left, with the equestrian monument of Marcus Aurelius in its original location. The figures of the Heresiarchs fought by the Saint are in the foreground, and, on the ground, the volumes of the disproven texts. Some contemporaries are thought to be among the bystanders: Giovanni and Giulio da'Medici, the future Popes Leo X and Clement VII; the Dominican Friar on the right may be Valentino Evangelisti da Camerino, the Prior of the Minerva Church in 1484 and a famous metaphysician.
