Carlo Antonio Pisarri had a knack for turning quiet saints into real people, no halo required. His print of St. Cecilia catches her mid-song, pencil in one hand, organ in the other, like she’s just paused to chat. You’ll find her tucked inside a 18th-century book on music, where the lines feel more like a sketchbook than a sermon.

Look up Pisarri’s St. Cecilia; it’s the kind of print that makes you wonder who else he drew before the sheet music closed.
