St. Thomas Aquinas
Shows a "Kindly and Humble" Visage (Right)
As Opposed to the Common Somewhat Harsh
And Intimidating Depiction (Left)
The Saint, Who Expressed His Work
In the Clearest of Latin Prose
Has Had an Unrivaled and Persistent Impact

That's a nice face. It is humble and wise at the same time.
But, was not St. Thomas a bit overweight? I even heard anecdotes about his life that confirm this.

Not everyone has the same body frame. Germanic people are often stocky.
I don't like this "St. Thomas Aquinas 2.0" nonsense. He's not Santa Claus or a myth. He was a real man. They had paint back then, you know. And quite capable, intelligent artists.

Didn't they also create this horrible image of Jesus a few years back?
Take away the swarthiness, hair and the beard and I would say these two recreated faces are very similar.

This one (https://www.ciceromoraes.com.br/doc/pt_br/Moraes/Jesus.html)?
It's unclear upon what the modeller is basing it.
His others are based upon actual 💀s.
