Investiture at St John’s Co Cathedral

Knights’ Investiture at St. John’s Co-Cathedral

A solemn rite beneath a golden dome,
Where history echoes and traditions roam.
Knights in reverence, faith held true,
A timeless legacy painted anew.

This gouache on paper bozzetto masterfully portrays the ornate splendor of Baroque architecture. Meticulous attention to detail brings the cathedral’s intricate carvings and gilded decor to life. Layering and controlled brushwork create depth and texture, while warm tones capture the grandeur and sanctity of the moment. The composition balances realism with the emotional gravitas of the scene.
