Saint Cecilia of Rome Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Large

By artist Francois-Joseph Navez (1787-1869), in the Museum of Fine Arts of Mons, Belgium

Though her parents gave her in marriage to Valerian of Trastevere, Cecilia kept a lifelong vow of chastity to God, her true spouse. It is said that she converted her husband to Christianity and that they both were martyred for their faith. Considered one of Navez’s most notable works, the painting showcases a idealized angelic portrayal of the saint with musical elements, reflecting her connection to music. A pupil of famed artist Jacques-Louis David, Belgian Neo-Classical painter Navez was the director of the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work’s texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375″- wide, European-style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.<br><br><b> Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.</b>
