About this work

Artist: Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664)
Year: c. 1635–1640
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 125 × 100 cm
Collection: Bilbao Fine Arts Museum
Movement: Baroque

A young woman in a green silk cloak over rich brocade, a golden crown on her head, stands against a dark ground holding the attributes of Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia, the thirteenth-century Hungarian princess who gave her wealth to the poor and whose bread, according to legend, turned to roses when her husband caught her carrying it out of the castle. Zurbarán painted a whole series of these standing female saints in the finery of Seville's own ladies, which made them popular as a kind of devotional fashion plate; this one dates from about 1635 to 1640, the decade of his greatest commissions for the Andalusian monasteries. The canvas belongs to the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, where it has been since 1919, when the Provincial Council of Bizkaia placed it there. It lent its colour and poise to the recent international Zurbarán exhibition that drew on the Bilbao collection.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia in the public domain?

Yes. Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia painted, and in what medium?

Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia dates from c. 1635–1640 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 125 × 100 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
