EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the right panel of the Wilton Diptych, a remarkable medieval artwork created between 1395 and 1399. Painted with egg tempera on wood, this exquisite piece measures 53 x 37 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London. The Wilton Diptych was originally crafted as a portable altarpiece for King Richard II's private devotion. This enigmatic diptych is believed to have been made during the final years of Richard's reign, although its artist remains anonymous. Named after its origin from Wilton House in Wiltshire, which belonged to the Earls of Pembroke, it holds great historical significance. Intricate details adorn this masterpiece; from the vibrant colors achieved through lapis lazuli pigments to the flag of St George proudly displayed. The central focus lies on Mary with Child and Angels, depicting Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus surrounded by angelic hosts. Gold accents and meticulous gilding add an air of regality to this religious scene. The diptych serves as a testament to Christian faith, drawing inspiration from biblical narratives found within the New Testament Gospels. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only a momentous religious event but also glimpse into royal courts and their devotion. The Wilton Diptych stands as a symbol of artistic mastery and spiritual reverence that continues to captivate viewers today.
