By John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), in a Private CollectionThough her parents gave her in marriage to Valerian of Trastevere, Cecilia kept a lifelong vow of chastity to God, her true spouse. It is said that she converted her husband to Christianity and that they both were martyred for their faith. Pre-Raphaelite artist Waterhouse painted the patroness of music in a superbly-colored medieval scene of realism that portrays her ecstasy of faith. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work''s texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Grande: 47"Wx31"H.
