Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio Da Urbino) (i)
The Ecstasy of St. Cecilia is an oil painting by Italian High Renaissance painter Raphael. Completed in his later years, around 1516-1517, the painting depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians and Church music, listening to a choir of angels in the company of St. John, St. Paul, St. Augustine and Mary Magdalene. Commissioned for a church in Bologna, the painting now hangs there in the Pinacoteca Nazionale. The final painting differed somewhat from the pre-sketch which has evidently been preserved in a burin by Marc Antonio. In it, Raphael depicted the angels with instruments as well — harp, triangle and violin — and the figures are in very different poses. Augustine (wearing his mitre) and Paul look downward; John looks out towards the viewer; the Magdalene looks upward to the angelic host, as Celia does.
