St. Elizabeth (adaptation) 1512 - 1600

"St. Elizabeth (adaptation)" is a woodcut print by Hans Baldung, a prominent German artist of the 16th century. The image depicts St. Elizabeth of Hungary, a revered figure in the Catholic Church, known for her acts of charity. The woodcut's composition highlights Elizabeth's compassionate nature, with her outstretched hand seemingly offering aid to a kneeling figure, possibly a beggar or a sick person. Baldung's detailed style emphasizes the intricate folds of Elizabeth's garment and the expressive features of her face. This small print is a testament to Baldung's talent in capturing both religious devotion and human emotion in his artistic depictions.
