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.

Present small, beautiful pictures correctly in the hallway
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.
