EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Saint Cecile" by Nicolas Colombel, a prominent French artist of the 17th-18th century. Painted with oil on wood, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Beaux Arts de Rouen, France. The artwork depicts Saint Cecilia, a revered Christian figure known as the patron saint of musicians. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Colombel beautifully captures her ethereal presence. Saint Cecilia gracefully holds a cello while an angel accompanies her on another musical instrument. The harmonious scene evokes a sense of divine inspiration and spiritual connection through music. Intriguing details emerge from this print - birdsong fills the air as notes are written on a partition nearby, symbolizing the power of music to transcend earthly boundaries. An organ stands in the background, further emphasizing its role in religious worship. Colombel's portrayal exudes religious ecstasy as Saint Cecilia gazes heavenward with serene devotion. The celestial light illuminates her face and creates an aura around her figure, enhancing the overall mystical ambiance. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this image that not only showcases Colombel's artistic brilliance but also invites viewers to appreciate the profound significance of music within religious contexts. This print serves as a visual testament to both faith and artistic excellence from centuries past.
