EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Johann Theodor Janssen's "Study for St. Elisabeth and her confessor Conrad of Marburg in 1230". With delicate watercolor on paper, the artist beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. The painting depicts Saint Elisabeth of Hungary, a noble princess known for her piety and devotion to helping others. Alongside her stands Konrad von Marburg, a German inquisitor who served as her confessor. Both figures are portrayed with great detail and emotion. In this scene, we witness Saint Elisabeth engaged in an act of humility and penance. She is shown scrubbing the floors of a hospital, tending to sick patients with utmost care and compassion. Her royal background contrasts starkly against the backdrop of illness and suffering. Janssen's masterful brushwork brings out the contrasting elements within this composition - from the regal attire worn by Saint Elisabeth to the humble surroundings she finds herself in. The painting serves as a powerful reminder that even those born into privilege can find purpose through selfless acts. Displayed at Marburger Alten Aula in Germany, this artwork not only celebrates religious devotion but also highlights themes such as service, sacrifice, and empathy towards fellow human beings. It is truly an exquisite piece that invites viewers to reflect upon their own capacity for kindness amidst adversity.
