This etching, created by Giulio Bonasone in 1531, depicts Saint Cecilia standing in the center of a group of saints, including Saint Paul, the Magdalene, Saint John the Evangelist, and Saint Augustine. Saint Cecilia, a patron saint of music, is depicted with musical instruments scattered around her, while angels look down from above. The artwork demonstrates the popularity of religious imagery in the Renaissance, highlighting the influence of Christian beliefs on art. The depiction of Saint Cecilia, with her connection to music, adds a layer of symbolism to the composition. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
