The Wilton Diptych is a remarkable example of the International Gothic style, created for King Richard II of England. It depicts Richard II kneeling before the Virgin and Christ Child, presented by the English saints King Edmund the Martyr, King Edward the Confessor, and patron saint John the Baptist. The diptych's design is intricate, with vibrant colors and detailed imagery, reflecting Richard II's personal conception of kingship and his concerns with family and status. The diptych's use of symbols, such as the white hart, also serves as a visual pun on Richard's name and his mother's influence. The diptych's condition, due to its use as a portable altarpiece, has affected its overall appearance, but it remains a significant piece of medieval art.
