EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite oil on canvas painting titled "Isabella of Portugal and St. Elizabeth" by Petrus Christus, created between 1457-60. The artwork, measuring 59x33 cm, is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium. The image captures the left wing of a triptych commissioned by Isabel of Portugal, wife of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy. Isabella's patron saint, Elizabeth of Hungary, is depicted as a nun in prayerful devotion. She holds a stack of three gold crowns symbolizing her piety, chastity, and royal birth. The composition exudes serenity as Isabella kneels down before St. Elizabeth with an air of reverence and humility. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors bring to life the spiritual connection between these two remarkable women. Through this painting, we glimpse into the deep faith and devotion that defined Isabella's life. Her act of prayer reflects her unwavering commitment to her beliefs while seeking solace from her patron saint. Petrus Christus masterfully captures not only their physical beauty but also their inner strength and spirituality through his meticulous attention to detail. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power art has in preserving history and showcasing profound moments like this one for generations to come.
