Reflecting on The Wilton Diptych, c 1396

Welcome to Art Lectio, a space where the enjoyment of art is restored to its original purpose: contemplation that leads to transformation. In this reflection, we entered the sacred world of the Wilton Diptych, where the meeting of heaven and earth speaks of divine kingship and human humility. We observed King Richard II kneeling in prayer, surrounded by saints who guide him towards the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, seated in the splendour of heaven. The gold background and vibrant ultramarine hues remind us of God’s eternal presence and grace. Our reflection revealed the Diptych’s profound message: earthly authority is a gift to be stewarded humbly under the ultimate kingship of Christ. We responded in prayer, seeking guidance to live faithfully in our own responsibilities, trusting in God’s sovereign care. In a moment of contemplation, we rested in the assurance of His kingdom, surrendering our fears and finding peace in His reign. Today’s takeaway calls us to steward our divine gifts with humility and purpose. Let us lead in our spheres of influence with justice and love, reflecting the character of Christ.
