St John Ogilvie SJ - by Gerard Burns
A new painting of St John Ogilvie commissioned for the 50th anniversary of his canonisation and unveiled in Glasgow City Chambers on 15th October 2026.
The painting shows St John Ogilvie as a young Jesuit, with a backdrop of important Glasgow landmarks including the remains of the prison where he was incarcerated, the Tron Tower, and the steeple of St. Aloysius' Church. The background looks out over the Glasgow Necropolis beneath a dramatic sky with shafts of sunlight, focusing on themes of his youth, life, and hope.
