Wilton Diptych

The Wilton Diptych is a small portable diptych of two hinged panels, painted on both sides, held in the National Gallery, London. It is an extremely rare survival of a late medieval religious panel painting from England, painted for King Richard II of England, who is shown kneeling before the Virgin and Child in a donor portrait, presented to them by the English saints Edmund the Martyr, Edward the Confessor and John the Baptist. It is an outstanding example of the International Gothic style, and its unknown painter was probably French or English. It takes its name from Wilton House in Wiltshire, where it was kept by the Earls of Pembroke before the National Gallery bought it in 1929.
