Case Study

Basilica of St. John the Evangelist

Canning provided historic restoration and conservation of ornamental plaster and decorative painting, new murals, and complimentary design that reflects the Catholic liturgy, and honors Saint John.

Our knowledge of Catholic mass, symbolism, and rituals of worship informed the new design and murals that were executed by our skilled artisans using traditional church decoration methods and materials.

The result is a harmonious design scheme applied to a sound plaster substrate that blends Catholic symbolism and iconography, liturgical references, and images in celebration of St. John the Evangelist.

And that is why the decision was made now to use the best - Canning - to paint our Gothic Revival Basilica as the earlier members of our parish who built it intended it to be: a beautiful gift to God, and a statement to Stamford that God is very real, and worth such an expense, and that we are most perfectly human when we strive to imitate the Divine who became Man for us.
