This month I was delighted to capture a portrait of Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the highest ranking member of the Catholic Church in England & Wales. The sitting took place on location at the Cardinals Palace attached to Westminster Cathedral.

Inspired by Renaissance portraits of Cardinal’s painted by Raphael and Caravaggio. I wanted to create my own Chiaroscuro depiction. The sitting lasting two hours, was a treat. Speaking to His Eminence about Renaissance art and enjoying a tour of the Cardinals Palace.

On 22 February 2014 Cardinal Nichols was created Cardinal Priest, by Pope Francis in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

He was designated the titular Church of St Alphonsus Liguori, a neo-Gothic church that is in the care of the Redemptorists. It is best known for housing the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, a gift given to the Redemptorists by Pope Pius IX in 1866.
