St. Paul’s Cathedral | Johann Wilhelm Jankowsky

Capriccio, A View of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London by Johann Wilhelm Jankowsky (German, c. 1825–1870) presents an imaginative and romanticised vision of one of London’s most iconic landmarks. In this capriccio—a genre blending real and invented elements—Jankowsky reinterprets St. Paul’s Cathedral within an idealised cityscape, possibly merging different architectural styles and fantasy elements to heighten the dramatic atmosphere. The dome rises majestically above surrounding structures, bathed in soft light and framed by a vibrant sky, reflecting the artist’s flair for poetic realism and architectural grandeur.
