"Triumph of St. Thomas Aquinas," also known as "The Allegory of the Christian Learning" or "The Triumph of St. Thomas Aquinas over the Heretics," is a celebrated fresco by the Italian painter Francesco Traini, believed to have been created around 1340. This significant work of art from the Italian Trecento (14th century) period is housed in the Museo Nazionale di San Matteo in Pisa, Italy.

The fresco is a laudatory depiction of St. Thomas Aquinas, the influential theologian and philosopher, who is shown seated and enthroned, symbolizing his intellectual victory over heretics and the triumph of the Christian faith. The work is notable for its allegorical content and the representation of various figures from classical antiquity, the Bible, and the Islamic world, which are thought to illustrate the synthesis of ancient philosophy and Christian theology that Aquinas's work epitomized.

In the fresco, St. Thomas Aquinas is centrally placed, holding the Summa Theologica, his most famous work. Beneath him are the defeated figures of heretics, such as Averroes, Sabellius, and Arius, representing the victory of his teachings over their doctrines. Surrounding Aquinas are other figures, including the personifications of the Liberal Arts and the Virtues, which highlight the comprehensive nature of his wisdom and the moral underpinnings of his thought.

Francesco Traini's "Triumph of St. Thomas Aquinas" is a masterpiece of narrative art and theological symbolism, reflecting the intellectual climate of the 14th century and the reverence for Aquinas within the Dominican order, to which Traini was closely associated. The fresco's iconography and style are emblematic of the Gothic tradition, yet they also anticipate the humanistic values that would later flourish in the Renaissance. The work is a testament to the enduring legacy of St. Thomas Aquinas and the pivotal role of religious and philosophical discourse in medieval art and society.
