EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Richard II Presented to the Virgin and Child by his Patron Saint John the Baptist and Saints Edward and Edmund". Created in 1395-99 by the Master of the Wilton Diptych, this piece is a true masterpiece. The painting depicts Richard II, King of England, being presented to the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus by his patron saint, John the Baptist. Flanked by two other saints, Edward the Confessor and Edmund the Martyr, Richard II stands in awe before this divine scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The vibrant colors of gold and blue dominate the composition, creating an atmosphere of regality. The gilded panels add a touch of opulence while symbolizing Richard II's royal status. Intricate heraldry can be seen throughout the painting - from arrows to badges to emblems - each representing different aspects of Richard II's reign. A white hart or deer appears as one such symbol associated with him. This late medieval religious panel not only serves as a portrait but also conveys a sense of devotion through its inclusion of angels surrounding Richard II. Their presence adds an ethereal quality that enhances its spiritual significance. Preserved at London's National Gallery, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Its historical importance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its portrayal of English royalty during this period.
