London: The Wilton Diptych

The Wilton Diptych is a portable diptych (open 53×74 cm) by an unknown author dating back to about 1395-1399. It is kept in the National Gallery in London. After many attributive disputes, it has been concluded that it is an English work, commissioned by or for Richard II, made by a local or French painter: moreover, it is a very rare example of religious painting on English panel of the Middle Ages, referable to the international Gothic style. It owes its name to the Wilton House, where it was once located.
