EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting engraving by G. Heuer & Kirmse, titled "Saint Cecilia (d. 232). Roman virgin and martyr, patroness of musicians. The Evening," we are transported back to ancient Rome, where we find Saint Cecilia, a noblewoman of extraordinary faith and devotion, in the midst of a tranquil soiree. Surrounded by a group of angels, she plays the organ with an ethereal expression, her fingers gracefully dancing across the keys. The soft glow of lamplight illuminates the room, casting a warm and inviting ambiance. Saint Cecilia, a third-century Roman virgin and martyr, is celebrated as the patroness of musicians and music. According to legend, she was granted the gift of eternal youth and the ability to play music in heaven. In this enchanting scene, we see her in her element, surrounded by the fruits of her noble birth and the instruments of her divine gift. The angels, with their serene expressions and gentle demeanor, seem to watch over her, their wings outstretched in protection and admiration. One angel holds a book, perhaps a hymnal or a prayer book, while another strums a piano with delicate finesse. The scene exudes an air of piety and reverence, a testament to the deep-rooted connection between religion and music in Catholicism and Christianity. This beautiful engraving, published in the Illustrated Weekly in 1893, captures the essence of Saint Cecilia's legacy and her enduring influence on the world of music and faith. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire us with its beauty and grace.
