EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Elizabeth. . . prayed to God to clothe her" we are transported back in time to witness a powerful moment from The Story of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Created by the talented artist Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale in 1921, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Saint Elizabeth's devotion and selflessness. The image portrays Saint Elizabeth kneeling before an ethereal angel while fervently praying for divine intervention. Her humble plea is not for herself but for those less fortunate - she beseeches God to provide clothing for the needy. This poignant scene perfectly encapsulates St. Elizabeth's unwavering dedication as the patron saint of the poor and sick. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as she skillfully brings out the emotions on both characters' faces. The delicate play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension, enhancing our connection with these spiritual figures. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder that compassion knows no bounds, inspiring us all to extend a helping hand towards those who are struggling. It reminds us that even through prayer alone, we can make a difference in someone else's life. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this exquisite print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message of empathy and kindness.
