The Wilton Diptych is a comprehensive account of one of England's
greatest surviving medieval treasures, now in the collection of The
National Gallery, London. The painting depicts King Richard II
(1367-1400) being presented to the Virgin Mary and Christ by John
the Baptist and two English Kings, revered as saints. The brilliant
color and lavish use of gold give it the appearance of a luxury
object, yet its primary function was religious, as an altarpiece
for the king's private devotions. The author analyzes the
iconography, historical context, style, materials, and techniques
used to create this precious work, and discusses the likely
identity of the artist and the possible evidence that this picture
was known to and referenced by William Shakespeare in his play
Richard II. Further study of the intricate detail, varied
techniques, and decorative effects shows connections to French
metalwork and manuscript illumination, while newly commissioned
photography reveals exquisite details unseen by the naked eye.
