"St Cecilia (detail) 3" by Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael, is a fragment of the larger altarpiece titled "The Ecstasy of St. Cecilia." This masterpiece was commissioned around 1514 by Cardinal Lorenzo Pucci for the church of San Giovanni in Monte in Bologna, Italy. Raphael, a leading figure of the High Renaissance, is celebrated for his harmonious compositions and masterful use of color and form.

The altarpiece depicts St. Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians, in a state of divine rapture, surrounded by musical instruments that lie broken at her feet, symbolizing the transcendence of heavenly music over earthly sounds. The saint is flanked by other saints: St. Paul, St. John the Evangelist, St. Augustine, and St. Mary Magdalene, each rendered with Raphael's characteristic grace and attention to detail.

"St Cecilia (detail) 3" focuses specifically on the figure of St. Cecilia, capturing her serene expression and the delicate interplay of light and shadow on her face and garments. Raphael's skillful use of chiaroscuro enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while the soft, almost ethereal quality of the painting reflects the spiritual ecstasy experienced by the saint.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the intricate detailing of the textiles and musical instruments. Raphael's ability to convey emotion and divinity through subtle gestures and expressions is evident in this detail, making it a quintessential example of his artistic prowess.

Today, the original altarpiece is housed in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and spiritual depth. "St Cecilia (detail) 3" remains a testament to Raphael's enduring legacy as one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance.
