Saint Cecilia is a significant oil on canvas painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, created around 1620 and housed in the Galleria Spada in Rome. The work depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, in a state of spiritual inspiration or ecstasy. The monumental female figure wears a sumptuous yellow dress and is portrayed playing a lute. The painting is characterized by a strong chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Caravaggio, which illuminates the Saint's face and emphasizes her spiritual elevation. Some critics suggest that Cecilia's face may be a self-portrait of the artist.
