The Wilton Diptych, c.1399: The Coronation and Deposition of Richard II | In the Frame #2

In this second episode of 'In the Frame,' we do a deep dive into the artistry and symbolism of the Wilton Diptych, c.1399, one of the oldest works in London's National Gallery. An amazingly well-preserved work of the high gothic period, it tells the tale of the ill-fated English king, Richard II. From his coronation as a young boy, through the tumultuous events of his short reign, until his eventual deposition and death at the hands of his successor, Henry IV. This object stands as a testament to the events that would lead to the infamous Wars of the Roses. Perfect royal watching for a Jubilee weekend!
