EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a compositional study of "An Incident in the Life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary" by James Collinson. The artwork, created in 1850, depicts a powerful moment from the life of this revered saint. In the center of the image, we see Saint Elizabeth kneeling before an ornate crucifix inside a church. Her regal presence is emphasized by her crown and elegant attire, while her act of humility is conveyed through her bowed head and folded hands. Surrounding her are several ladies-in-waiting who observe this sacred scene with reverence. The Pre-Raphaelite style shines through in every detail, as Collinson meticulously captures the intricate folds of fabric and delicate features on each figure's face. The artist's mastery is particularly evident in his rendering of Saint Elizabeth's feet being kissed by one of her attendants—a gesture symbolizing devotion and servitude. This drawing offers us a glimpse into both historical events and spiritual significance. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, sacrifice, and compassion. Through its skillful execution and attention to detail, it transports viewers back to medieval Thuringia in 1207 when these events unfolded. As we admire this remarkable piece from Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery's collection, we are reminded once again why Bridgeman Images has preserved it for generations to come—allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its cultural value as an important part of our shared history.
