"Saint Cecilia" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, completed circa 1606. The artwork is a depiction of the patron saint of musicians and Church music, Saint Cecilia, and is renowned for its delicate portrayal of the saint in a moment of divine inspiration or ecstasy. Reni's representation of Saint Cecilia is imbued with a sense of grace and spiritual fervor, which is characteristic of the Counter-Reformation period that sought to reinvigorate Catholic faith through art.

The painting shows Saint Cecilia with her gaze turned heavenward, symbolizing her devotion and connection to the divine. She is often depicted with an organ or organ-pipes, referencing the legend that she heard heavenly music during her wedding. In Reni's interpretation, however, the emphasis is on her rapturous expression rather than the instruments of her patronage, which may or may not be included in the composition.

Guido Reni, born in Bologna in 1575, was a prominent figure of the Bolognese School and a contemporary of Caravaggio. Reni's style, however, contrasts with Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro, favoring instead a more classical and refined approach with soft lighting and idealized figures. "Saint Cecilia" exemplifies Reni's mastery of this style, showcasing his ability to convey piety and beauty through his art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and religious significance during the Baroque period. It reflects the era's emphasis on religious figures as conduits of divine presence and the power of music as a spiritual medium.

"Saint Cecilia" by Guido Reni is held in high esteem among his oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of Baroque religious art. The painting's current location varies based on historical records and acquisitions, and it may be housed in one of several art collections or museums that hold works by Reni.
