EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Empress Helena with the True Cross" created by the skilled hands of the Workshop of Willem Vrelant in Bruges, Belgium during the early 1460s. The piece is a testament to Flemish artistry and craftsmanship, as it combines tempera colors, gold leaf, and ink on parchment. The image depicts Empress Helena, a prominent figure in Christian history known for her discovery of the True Cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified. She stands elegantly before us, holding this sacred relic with reverence and awe. Her regal attire and serene expression convey both her status as an empress and her deep spiritual connection to Christianity. Every intricate detail has been meticulously rendered by Vrelant's workshop - from the delicate folds of Helena's gown to the ornate patterns adorning her surroundings. The use of gold leaf adds a touch of opulence and luminosity to this masterpiece. This print allows us to appreciate not only Empress Helena's devotion but also Vrelant's exceptional talent as an artist. It serves as a window into a bygone era when religious iconography held immense significance in society. Whether displayed on its own or alongside other works from the Liszt Collection, this remarkable piece will undoubtedly captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical importance.
