The Saint Cecilia is a significant oil painting on canvas made by Artemisia Gentileschi around around 1620 and held in the Galleria Spada in Rome. The work depicts Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music, in a state of spiritual inspiration or ecstasy. The monumental female figure wears a sumptuous yellow gown and is portrayed playing a lute. The painting is characterised by a marked chiaroscuro of Caravaggesque origin, which illuminates the saint’s face and underlines her spiritual elevation. Some critics suggest that Cecilia’s face may be a self-portrait of the artist.
