St. Elisabeth of Thuringia – dancer between grace and devotion

On Iron
This hand-painted, elegant wall art from the Wonnereich studio combines traditional heritage with modern expressiveness. St. Elisabeth of Thuringia, known for her tireless charity, is depicted here in a cheerful and lively movement that embodies lightness and joy.
In her hands she holds a loaf of bread, a symbol of her devotion to the poor, and floating roses that dance above her like balloons on delicate ribbons - a modern echo of the famous rose miracle.
The picture, painted in radiant gold on high-quality handmade paper, combines the preciousness of the materials used with a contemporary artistic style. It radiates warmth, grace and hope and is a reminder that the beauty of giving never fades.
A work that gives every room a heavenly light - and a story that touches hearts.
Who was the “Saint of Love,” Elisabeth of Thuringia?
It is November 19th, the memorial day of St. Elisabeth of Thuringia - the woman whose life appears like a shining chapter of Christian charity. Born a king's daughter, she chose the suffering of the poor and sick rather than enjoying the privileges of the nobility.
Elizabeth's existence was permeated by a unique tenderness that left no barrier between her heart and the suffering of the world. She saw Christ himself in every beggar and washed their wounds with a devotion that astonishes us today.
The legend of the rose miracle - how bread turned into fragrant flowers - almost seems like a metaphor for the power of her love.
After the early death of her husband, Landgrave Ludwig IV, everything was taken away from her, but not her unshakable faith. In recent years she lived in simplicity and founded a hospital to continue serving. She died in 1231, only 24 years old, but her legacy endures through the centuries.

The Rose Miracle – A story full of wonder and grace
The legend of the rose miracle is inextricably linked to St. Elizabeth of Thuringia. It is said that Elisabeth secretly stole bread for the poor from the castle kitchen to distribute to those in need - an act of charity that was met with resistance in her time.
One day, when she was stopped on the way to town by her suspicious husband and he wanted to know what she was hiding under her coat, she opened it. Instead of the bread, however, he saw a magnificent bunch of fresh roses that shone in bright colors - in the middle of winter.
The Rose Miracle is a symbol of grace, the miracle of giving, and the power of love to overcome obstacles. It shows how even small, courageous acts of generosity can be transformed into something greater - a message that remains timeless and sparks new inspiration in any room.
This work is part of an ongoing cycle. Further versions of this motif are available upon request.

Material
Gold
The application consists of genuine 23-karat double ducat gold leaf from the Austrian Mint.
In addition, I use digital elements, for example in the lettering, which is applied to the paper with conventional printer ink using a complex process and represents the computer technology of our time.
Each artwork is unique. My own techniques allow the creation of similar works, but never identical ones.
I sign each sheet by hand (pencil, monogram WR for Wonnereich, or UR for Ulrike Rainer), sometimes on the reverse. A certificate card with details on materials and technique is included.
Handwork & Handmade Paper
I create the artworks by hand in mixed media on fine handmade paper. The paper is slightly cream-coloured and features irregular, hand-torn edges.
This edge structure is material-related and gives each artwork an individual character. For this reason, the dimensions of the works may vary slightly.
The usual formats are approx. A4 (approx. 21 × 28 cm or 8,3 x 11,0 in) or approx. A5 (approx. 19 × 15 cm or 7,5 x 5,9 in), depending on execution and availability.
Unless otherwise stated, the handmade paper used comes from paper mills in Italy or Spain, regions with some of the oldest paper-making traditions in Europe.
On Iron
Upon request, the artwork is presented on iron.
The iron works are made of controlled rusted iron with a material thickness of approx. 0.5 to 1 mm, depending on availability. The rusting process is initiated by hand, then stopped, and the surface is sealed.
Patterning and rust structure vary, as does the coloration, ranging from silvery-grey tones to reddish-brown hues.
Unless otherwise stated, the artwork is mounted using the included magnets. In individual cases, the work is screwed.
Iron works are generally centrally pre-drilled and prepared for wall mounting, except for larger formats (e.g. 40 × 50 cm). These are not pre-drilled, as their weight does not allow mounting with a single nail.
Special requests (e.g. without pre-drilling) are possible depending on availability.
Note: The image shown represents an example from the respective series. Rust structure, coloration, and mounting method may vary depending on the individual execution.
