Saint Cecilia

Date: 1895

The painting depicts three women in historical dresses on a terrace overlooking the sea. Two of them are standing and playing stringed instruments, presumably violins, while the third sits with a book in her lap, as if not watching a performance. The terrace is lined with flowers, and the background of the painting complements the distant view of the sea and mountains.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). English painter known for his paintings of female figures from classical mythology. Among his most famous paintings is Ophelia shortly before her death braiding flowers in her hair (although the painting is from 1888, it was lost for a long time until found again). Waterhouse had planned to paint a whole series of paintings with the motif of Ophelia, but serious illness - cancer - did not allow him to finish his work. His canvas motif, The Temptation of Miranda, is also worth mentioning. A classical motif is also his Narcis, viewing his reflection in the water.
