Den hellige Cecilie 1897 - 1898

"Den hellige Cecilie" (Saint Cecilia) painted by Danish artist Julius Paulsen between 1897 and 1898 depicts the Christian saint playing an organ. The painting is considered a work of Symbolism, a style popular in the late 19th century. Paulsen's masterful use of light and shadow create a somber mood, highlighting Cecilie's intense concentration and devotion to music. The painting is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
