Lge. French Pokerwork Panel St. Elisabeth Hungary
We are pleased to offer for sale this large and beautifully executed Arts & Crafts Pokerwork Panel which is of Northern French origin. It depicts Saint Elisabeth of Hungary and the Miracle of the Roses. The panel is constructed of yellow birch wood and has the detail burnt into the surface, hence the other name of the work, pyrography. The picture is embellished with various coloured stains and the application of gold and silver to certain details, including the clothing of the principals and the pillars. The panel bears an inscription in French giving the story, as shown.
Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia or Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia 1207-1221, was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary, Landgravine of Thuringia, Germany, and a greatly venerated Catholic saint who was an early member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, by which she is honored as its patroness. She was married at 14, bore three children, built a hospital for the poor and died at the age of 24. She was canonized in 1235 and the church in her name, with her statue outside, is in Budapest.
Elizabeth is perhaps best known for her Miracle of the Roses which says that whilst she was taking bread to the poor in secret, she met her husband Ludwig on a hunting party, who, in order to quell suspicions of the gentry that she was stealing treasure from the castle, asked her to reveal what was hidden under her cloak. In that moment, her cloak fell open and a vision of white and red roses could be seen, which proved to Ludwig that God's protecting hand was at work.
Her husband, according to the vitae, was never troubled by her charity and always supported it. In some versions of this story, it is her brother in law, Heinrich Raspe, who questions her. Hers is the first of many miracles that associate Christian saints with roses, and is the most frequently depicted in the saint's iconography.
Pyrography or pyrogravure is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.
Size: 45" x 28 3/8" - 114cm x 72cm
Material: Birch wood
Condition: Very good, clean condition. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
