"St. Elizabeth of Hungary or The Miracle of the Roses" is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. The work depicts the well-known legend of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, a 13th-century princess known for her charity towards the poor and her dedication to a life of service after the death of her husband, Ludwig IV of Thuringia. The miracle referred to in the title involves a popular story in which Elizabeth, while secretly taking bread to the poor, is confronted by her husband or his knights. When asked to reveal what she is carrying under her cloak, the bread is miraculously transformed into roses, thus protecting her from accusations of theft or misappropriation of her husband's resources for the poor.

Gustave Moreau, renowned for his mystical and enigmatic compositions, brings a rich, symbolic treatment to the subject. His portrayal of St. Elizabeth is imbued with a sense of divine intervention and spiritual depth, characteristic of his Symbolist approach. The painting is noted for its intricate detail, vivid color palette, and the ethereal quality of the figures, which are hallmarks of Moreau's style.

As a work of art, "St. Elizabeth of Hungary or The Miracle of the Roses" is significant for its representation of religious and spiritual themes through a Symbolist lens, reflecting the broader 19th-century interest in exploring the unseen and the mystical. Moreau's interpretation of the legend invites contemplation on the nature of faith, charity, and the divine, making it a notable example of Symbolist art and an important piece within Moreau's oeuvre.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural contributions. As with many of Moreau's works, "St. Elizabeth of Hungary or The Miracle of the Roses" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and interpretation, contributing to the understanding of Symbolist art and its impact on the development of modern art.
