17th Century Oil Painting on Canvas with 17th Century Frame

H=17 3/8, W=13 3/4

An Antique Oil Painting on Canvas of a Catholic Priest- 17th C. in a 17th C. Giltwood Frame – Good Antique Condition – Repair to Painting on Back – Frame has been strengthened with newer pieces of wood.

This 17th C. oil painting on canvas is of a Catholic Priest seated in front of a desk with books, holding a quill pen in his raised right hand.  Light is illuminating him from a source in the upper left hand corner..  There is a partial velvet drape in the background to the right.  This could possibly be a rendition St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 1274), a priest of the Roman Catholic Church of the Dominican Order from Italy.  He was an immensely influential theologian and scholar, referred to as Thomas, because Aquinas refers to his residence and not his surname.
