The Wilton Diptych

Having had the privilege of seeing the Diptych in the National Gallery this book is the ideal companion, a stunning step forward in personal devotion but also a refelection of our national identity. This really was the news flash of its day, messages abound here some are subliminal some are headlines! This book will guide you through the story, but I recommend you go and see this Diptych in the gallery in all its glory and marvel at mans ability to imprint a message in beauty that is revealed over hundreds of years later.

A beautifully illustrated and well written account of one of the greatest artworks ever made. The close up photos in particular bring out details that even the most intent inspection of the actual artwork would fail to reveal. Highly recommended.

Excellent book, clear and enlightening

Wonderfully interesting book

This beautifully produced book sums up many years of research on this still-enigmatic masterpiece. One learns a good deal about the tragic history of Richard II. The illustrations are splendid, making this volume the next best thing to seeing the work in the National Gallery in London. This. book is not to be missed.
