Material, technology: oil, canvas mounted on cardboard Size: 38 x 26.5 cm Description: In the legend, St Elizabeth immersed in devotion was shown the Crucifix by an angel for consolation. The style, the dramatic execution of sweeping painterliness suggests that it was painted by Maulbertsch. The greatest Austrian master of the 18th century worked often in Hungary for long periods of time from her youth to his death. No information is found about the picture’s origin or function; it was perhaps a sketch for an unrealized altarpiece. |  |
