About the piece
Painted in 1824 by François-Joseph Navez, a leading Belgian Neoclassical artist and student of Jacques-Louis David, this work portrays Saint Cecilia with refined grace. She is flanked by a feathered angel playing a golden harp and a playful cherub, all rendered with the smooth finish and sculptural clarity characteristic of the period.
