"The Renunciation of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary" is an 1850 painting by the English artist James Collinson, who was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of painters, poets, and critics aiming to reform the art world by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach of Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Collinson's work is known for its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and incorporation of themes of medievalism and spirituality, which are characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

The painting depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a 13th-century princess and later a widow, who was known for her charity to the poor and became one of the first members of the Third Order of St. Francis. The scene captures the moment of Elizabeth's renunciation of her royal status following the death of her husband, the Landgrave Louis IV of Thuringia. In the painting, Elizabeth is shown as she removes her crown, symbolizing her rejection of worldly power and wealth in favor of a life of piety and service to the sick and needy.

Collinson's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth is imbued with religious symbolism and reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in noble and virtuous subjects drawn from history and literature. The artwork is notable for its fine detail, use of rich colors, and the emotional depth with which Collinson renders the central figure. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on themes of sacrifice, devotion, and the transformative power of faith.

"The Renunciation of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary" is a significant work within Collinson's oeuvre and the broader context of Pre-Raphaelite art. It exemplifies the group's commitment to serious and genuine depictions of moral and historical subjects, as well as their technical precision and rejection of the conventional artistic practices of their time. The painting is an important example of the way in which the Pre-Raphaelites sought to convey complex emotional and spiritual narratives through their art, and it remains a testament to the enduring influence of the movement on Victorian art and beyond.
