"Saint Cecilia and the Angel" is a Baroque painting by the Dutch artist Matthias Stom (also known as Matthias Stomer), who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Stom, a Northern Caravaggisti, was profoundly influenced by the style of the Italian painter Caravaggio, which is evident in his use of dramatic chiaroscuro and strong contrasts between light and dark in this work. The painting depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians, often portrayed with an organ or viola, as she is serenaded or inspired by an angel.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Stom's mature period, when he had fully developed his signature style, combining the Caravaggesque influence with his own artistic sensibilities. "Saint Cecilia and the Angel" is notable for its emotional depth and the intimate moment captured between the saint and the celestial being. The angel is typically shown playing a musical instrument, emphasizing the connection between divine inspiration and artistic creation.

The painting's composition, with its emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow, not only highlights the figures but also creates a sense of spiritual reverence appropriate to the subject matter. The work reflects the Baroque era's fascination with dramatic narrative scenes, religious themes, and the exploration of human emotion through art.

"Saint Cecilia and the Angel" is part of a larger tradition of artistic representations of Saint Cecilia that date back to the Renaissance, with artists such as Raphael and Gentileschi also contributing to the iconography surrounding the saint. Stom's interpretation is particularly admired for its quiet intensity and the tender interaction between the human and the divine.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location, provenance, and history of ownership may not be thoroughly documented, which is not uncommon for works from this period. However, it remains an important example of Matthias Stom's work and of the Northern European interpretation of Caravaggesque painting.
