What’s so unique about the Wilton Diptych? | National Gallery
Curator Emma Capron and Conservator Britta New, discuss the puzzling work behind ’The Wilton Diptych’ which makes it one of the most intriguing artworks in the world.
Named the ’Wilton’ diptych due to its acquisition by the National Gallery from Wilton House, Wiltshire in 1929, the panel was originally made for the private devotion of Richard II, King of England. Richard reigned from 1377 to 1399, making the panel over six hundred years old. Interestingly, we still don’t know who made the artwork.
The Wilton Diptych is currently on loan to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. To celebrate our Bicentenary, 12 paintings from the collection are being lent to 12 venues across the UK.
