Executed with an intricate and luminescent egg tempera on oak panel technique, this legendary medieval masterpiece utilises a hinged, two-panel devotional layout enveloped in an opulent, tooled-gold palette of brilliant lapis lazuli blues, warm flesh tones, and shimmering celestial metallics. The visual composition splits across a dual landscape, detailing King Richard II kneeling in a luxurious ermine gown alongside his three patron saints on the left, while facing a heavenly host of eleventh angelic figures clustered around the Virgin and Child on the right. Painted circa 1395 to 1399 by an anonymous master artisan, this iconic International Gothic treasure—historically known as The Wilton Diptych and preserved by the National Gallery—was specifically selected as the signature promotional artwork and postcard feature for the landmark 1987 Age of Chivalry blockbuster exhibition hosted at the Royal Academy of Arts
