After a day in the office, unlocking the door, quickly taking off your shoes, putting the shopping bag on the board and then being greeted in the hallway by the delightful image of a delicate, floating female figure with her arms spread wide! Then you are at home and completely at peace with yourself. Cecilia, the patroness of music, spreads
the atmosphere of dance and joy into the entrance area. The end of the day can then begin accompanied with the sounds of calm lounge music.

Beautiful pictures for the hallway – Saint Cecilia
It's often the small, unusual things that give a room its personal touch. Beautiful pictures are part of it. They are particularly noticeable in the hallway, which is usually narrow and functional.
Saint Cecilia of Rome is venerated as a martyr in several Christian churches. Although it cannot be clearly proven historically, legends assume that she lived in the 3rd century. She was probably martyred under Severus Alexander in 230 because she refused to sacrifice to the god Jupiter.
Although she was forced into marriage by her parents, she was able to convert her groom to Christianity after she had previously been secretly baptized by Pope Urban.
Because he then wanted to bury a martyr together with other Christians, they were captured and executed. Cecilia gave away her possessions to the poor and was herself brought before the prefect during a mass arrest. There she defended her faith,
was able to convert more people and was ultimately sentenced to death by suffocation with hot steam. She survived this torture, whereupon she was to be beheaded. That also failed at first, but she died three days later as a result of the three executioner blows.
She became the patron saint of music because it is said that she swore her loyalty to God with a song on her wedding night. She is also considered the inventor of the portable organ, the Portativ.

Furnishing tips for pictures in the hallway
Present small, beautiful pictures correctly in the hallway
Beautiful pictures for the entrance area staged with light
The hallway or entrance area is the first thing that catches the eye of visitors to the apartment. It is usually filled with the useful everyday things that you need when you leave the apartment. Shelves for shoes and boots, hooks for coats, shelves for hats, stands for umbrellas and trays for keys,
Sunglasses and wallet. With a little skill, the usually very small area can be used optimally. There are also ready-made concepts and a lot of self-made furniture to hide the indispensable but usually unattractive things behind pretty doors.
It looks even more spacious when an area of this part of the apartment is reserved for a nice little picture. It can transform the entire room and draws the eye away from the wall units, coat hooks, stairs or dresser drawers.
With the help of a cleverly placed light spot, you can focus all the attention of the “first glance” on this noble object. Not only does indirect light capture the eye and distract from the less attractive but more useful parts, it also really highlights the image.
The sober practicality and the actual function of the hallway fade into the background. Because even if your gaze only lingers on the small work of art for a very short time, the picture makes it clear that every little detail of the apartment is important and valuable to the residents.
Motif
Cecilia is depicted as a delicate female figure, almost floating. She has her arms spread wide and appears to be dancing between heaven and earth. It belongs to the Sacred Dancers series.
Payment is made as part of the order process using the payment methods offered in the shop.
For works that are created individually, I begin the work after receipt of payment or payment confirmation.
The following payment options are available:
Bank transfer (you will receive the invoice and bank details after your order has been placed)
PayPal
Credit card via PayPal (no PayPal account required)
For payments made via PayPal or credit card, confirmation is usually received promptly. In the case of bank transfers, the processing time depends on the banking system and is outside my control.
Payments made in a currency other than euros may incur additional bank fees.
VAT exempt in accordance with the small business regulation.
Please note:
For personalised works (e.g. personal names, specific lettering, individual adjustments), the right of withdrawal and return is excluded once work on the piece has begun.
Further information on personalised products can be found in the “Personalisation” tab. If this tab is not present, personalisation is not available for the respective work.
Unless otherwise stated, works are delivered without frames or accessories.
Production Time & Shipping
Finished works are usually shipped within 2–3 working days after receipt of payment.
For individually created or handcrafted works, production may take a few additional days, particularly in the case of ongoing cycles or limited works. In such cases, you will of course be informed in advance.
Material
Gold
The application consists of genuine 23-karat double ducat gold leaf from the Austrian Mint.
In addition, I use digital elements, for example in the lettering, which is applied to the paper with conventional printer ink using a complex process and represents the computer technology of our time.
Each artwork is unique. My own techniques allow the creation of similar works, but never identical ones.
I sign each sheet by hand (pencil, monogram WR for Wonnereich, or UR for Ulrike Rainer), sometimes on the reverse. A certificate card with details on materials and technique is included.
Handwork & Handmade Paper
I create the artworks by hand in mixed media on fine handmade paper. The paper is slightly cream-coloured and features irregular, hand-torn edges.
This edge structure is material-related and gives each artwork an individual character. For this reason, the dimensions of the works may vary slightly.
The usual formats are approx. A4 (approx. 21 × 28 cm or 8,3 x 11,0 in) or approx. A5 (approx. 19 × 15 cm or 7,5 x 5,9 in), depending on execution and availability.
Unless otherwise stated, the handmade paper used comes from paper mills in Italy or Spain, regions with some of the oldest paper-making traditions in Europe.
On Iron
Upon request, the artwork is presented on iron.
The iron works are made of controlled rusted iron with a material thickness of approx. 0.5 to 1 mm, depending on availability. The rusting process is initiated by hand, then stopped, and the surface is sealed.
Patterning and rust structure vary, as does the coloration, ranging from silvery-grey tones to reddish-brown hues.
Unless otherwise stated, the artwork is mounted using the included magnets. In individual cases, the work is screwed.
Iron works are generally centrally pre-drilled and prepared for wall mounting, except for larger formats (e.g. 40 × 50 cm). These are not pre-drilled, as their weight does not allow mounting with a single nail.
Special requests (e.g. without pre-drilling) are possible depending on availability.
Note: The image shown represents an example from the respective series. Rust structure, coloration, and mounting method may vary depending on the individual execution.
