Lucas Cranach's masterpiece depicts The Lamentation over Christ with Saints Wolfgang and Helena, emphasizing not only Saint Helena's piety but also her role as a saintly intercessor for believers. In another artwork found within a manuscript Gradual dating back to around 1420, Master of Murano Gradual illustrates The Finding of the Holy Cross—a pivotal moment attributed to Saint Helena's efforts. Saints Helen and Barbara are portrayed alongside Catholic Monarchs in an exquisite painting by Master Manzanillo from around 1480-1500—testimony to their revered status during that era. An anonymous artist created an awe-inspiring work titled Exaltation of the Cross: Saints Constantine the Great and Helena circa 1350—an artistic representation commemorating their contributions towards Christianity's triumph.
