Wilhelm Thöny was an Austrian artist, graphic designer and illustrator.
Thöny studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, first working as a graphic designer and illustrator for several publishing houses. He began showing his work in exhibitions in 1910 and became one of the founders of the New Secession in Munich. In 1923, together with the artists Alfred Wickenburg and Fritz Silberbauer, Wilhelm Thöny founded the Graz Secession and was appointed its first president. He also worked for many publications. It was a successful period for the artist: he was represented in numerous exhibitions and sold well. He was awarded the honorary title of professor.
In 1938, due to the tense situation in Europe, Thöny and his wife moved to New York, where the artist worked successfully until a warehouse fire in 1948, which destroyed about a thousand of his works. He did not recover from this blow and died a year later. Wilhelm Thöny is now considered one of Austria's greatest modernists. Only a fraction of his vast oeuvre, including battle scenes from World War I and large-scale views of New York City, remains, but his work can be seen in major European and American museums.

Thomas Aquinas (Italian: Tommaso d'Aquino, also called Aquinas, alias Doctor Angelicus) was an Italian poet and theologian, philosopher, and major medieval scholastic.
Thomas Aquinas is one of the most important theologians in the history of Western civilization, given the extent of his influence on the development of Roman Catholic theology since the fourteenth century. As a theologian, in his two masterpieces, Summa theologiae and Summa contra gentiles, he created the classical systematization of Latin theology, and as a poet, he wrote some of the most serious and beautiful Eucharistic hymns in the church liturgy. Thomas Aquinas is recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as the foremost Western philosopher and theologian and canonized as a saint.
