Tod Der Elisabeth 1876

"Tod Der Elisabeth" (Death of Elizabeth) is a 1876 artwork by German artist Wilhelm von Kaulbach. The artwork depicts the death of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a 13th-century Hungarian princess known for her piety and charitable works. The scene is set outdoors, with the saint lying in a coffin surrounded by mourners. The central figure is a man reaching out to touch Elizabeth's hand, while the others look on with grief. This piece is an example of Kaulbach's signature historical and religious themes, executed with meticulous detail and a sense of solemnity.
