EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Elizabeth of Hungary, a remarkable woman who lived in the 13th century. Born into nobility as the daughter of Andras II of Hungary, her life took an unexpected turn when her husband, Louis IV, Landgrave of Thuringia, succumbed to the plague while on a crusade. Following this tragic event, St Elizabeth joined the Franciscan order and devoted herself to caring for the poor. Her asceticism and piety became renowned traits that defined her character. This portrait captures her essence beautifully. Dressed in medieval attire with a halo above her head symbolizing holiness, St Elizabeth's expression exudes serenity and grace. As a widow thrust into religious service, she stands as an inspiration for women throughout history who have faced adversity with unwavering faith. The artist skillfully uses color to enhance this portrayal of royalty turned saintly figure. The vibrant hues highlight both her regal lineage and spiritual devotion. Published in 1886 by Rev Alban Butler in his esteemed work "Butlers Lives of the Saints" this print serves as a testament to St Elizabeth's enduring legacy. It is not only a visual representation but also an invitation to delve deeper into the life and teachings of this extraordinary woman whose compassion knew no bounds.
