Heliocentrism is the "truth" discovered by Galileo that is depicted burning in the fire with him. Heliocentrism is the idea that Earth and the other planets in our galaxy revolve around the Sun. The fire in the picture represents the sun, with the surrounding people representing the planets and the Earth's moon. Hope this helped!

Who was put in jail because he told people Copernicus model was correct?

It was not about modelling, it was about reality. Galileo was put in jail for heresy after he continued to say publicly that the Copernican model was the absolute truth, after he had been told by the church that he could use it and teach it only as a model to represent the planets. The model that is now accepted by everyone including the church is the one discovered by Kepler in 1609, which Galileo did not accept at the time because it uses elliptical orbits instead of the perfect circles of the Copernican theory.
