Saint Cecilia and scenes from her life
Madonna and Child

Master of Saint Cecilia is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at J. Paul Getty Museum.

This artist painted vivid tempera panels of holy figures in the 1300s, right in the thick of Italy’s early Renaissance. See the Madonna Enthroned with Child and Six Angels, a gold-backed throne scene where Mary sits calm among angels, and the Saint Cecilia and Scenes from Her Life, crowded with saints and swirling drama. Their figures have soft folds and bright colors, standing out against flat gold backgrounds. Next, tap the Madonna and Child to feel how their quiet, tender faces pull you in.
