| Ever since the mysterious double-panel painting known as the Wilton Diptych was acquired for the National Gallery in 1929, speculations regarding its origins have been rife because although many discoveries have been made regarding its subject, we are still none-the-wiser regarding its origins. Through the lens of the Wilton Diptych this lecture will look at Medieval England, patronage, saints and kingship, and also unearth the many hidden signs and symbols in this painting. |
