"Sancta Lilias" is an oil painting created in 1874 by the English poet, illustrator, and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The painting is notable for its depiction of a female saint, Saint Lilias, a figure not recognized in historical hagiographies but rather a creation of Rossetti's own imagination. The work reflects Rossetti's characteristic blend of medievalism, symbolism, and Pre-Raphaelite attention to detail and color.

The painting features a solitary female figure, draped in rich, flowing garments, with a halo signifying her saintly status. She is set against a lush background that includes a variety of floral motifs, which were a common element in Rossetti's work and carried symbolic meaning. The saint is shown in a moment of contemplation or prayer, her hands clasped and her gaze directed upwards, possibly indicating a spiritual vision or communion with the divine.

"Sancta Lilias" is part of Rossetti's later body of work, which often focused on themes of beauty and spirituality, frequently merging the sacred with the sensual. The painting's style is characterized by its vivid use of color, intricate detail, and the ethereal quality of the figure, all hallmarks of Rossetti's mature style. The work is a testament to Rossetti's ongoing fascination with the idea of the femme fatale and the elevation of female beauty to a near-divine status.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Rossetti's artistic legacy and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement. "Sancta Lilias" continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities, its place within Rossetti's oeuvre, and its representation of Victorian ideals of femininity and sanctity.
