This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Cecilia" by Nicolas Poussin, a renowned French painter from the 17th century. The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 118x88 cm, is housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts St. Cecilia, a revered saint and patroness of musicians, in all her divine glory. With serene beauty and grace, she sits at an organ while delicately playing heavenly melodies that resonate through the room. Her eyes are closed as if lost in the ethereal music flowing from her fingertips. Surrounded by celestial beings, angels hover around St. Cecilia with reverence and admiration for her musical talents. They appear to be enchanted by her performance as they listen intently to every note emanating from the instrument.
