About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Francisco de Zurbarán, this portrait presents Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia with the regal poise of the Spanish Golden Age. The saint is rendered in exquisite detail, from the heavy folds of her green silk cloak to the delicate pearl necklace and the golden crown resting in her hair. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro emphasizes her luminous presence against the dark background, characteristic of the artist's masterful style.
