Diplomas Jaén Cathedral

Conmemorative Vellums

Calligraphy, Guilding, Illumination

A very special commission for the Cathedral of Jaén, consisting of six commemorative diplomas on vellum, using 24kt gold leaf and precious natural pigments such as Cochineal Carmine and Natural Indigo. Framing the text of the Foundational calligraphy, two ornamental fringes - with late Gothic acanthus leaves - dominate the composition, crowned with a medallion with the representation of the Santo Rostro, relic and raison d'être of the Cathedral. To close the diploma, the shield of the bishop D. Amadeo Rodríguez Magro.
