"Saint Cecilia" is a painting by the Dutch artist Paulus Moreelse, created in the early 17th century, depicting Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians and church music. Moreelse, who was born in Utrecht in 1571 and died in 1638, was a prominent painter and portraitist of the Dutch Golden Age, known for his detailed and expressive works that often included religious and mythological themes.

The painting portrays Saint Cecilia seated at an organ, a common representation that alludes to her association with music. She is often depicted in art playing an organ or other musical instrument, reflecting the legend that she heard heavenly music in her heart when she was forced to marry a pagan, Valerian. Moreelse's interpretation of Saint Cecilia is notable for its rich color palette, the intricate depiction of her garments, and the serene expression on her face, which captures the saint's divine inspiration and devotion to her faith.

As a work of art from the Dutch Golden Age, "Saint Cecilia" by Paulus Moreelse exemplifies the era's artistic focus on realism, attention to detail, and the use of light and shadow to create depth and texture. The painting is a testament to Moreelse's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through the medium of paint.

The painting is part of the collection of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands, which houses many works by artists from the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of Dutch Caravaggist painters from the city of Utrecht. Moreelse's "Saint Cecilia" remains an important piece within the museum's collection, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the 17th-century Dutch Republic, as well as the artistic legacy of one of its most accomplished painters.
