This anonymous painting from around 1500 depicts four scenes from the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Known for her piety and charity, Elizabeth is shown in the painting performing miracles and acts of kindness. The artist captures the stories of Elizabeth's life through a detailed depiction of the scenes, including her marriage, her act of charity, her miracle of the roses, and her death. The painting's intricate details, including the architecture, clothing, and facial expressions, are characteristic of the Early Netherlandish style.
