I was reading a book about Richard II, the painting was brought up, needed help understanding why. Now, I know. Thank you!

I've always loved this piece and appreciate your insights on the pelican embroidery.

[@arthistorygirl2327]

It's one of my favourites too. Thanks, it was an educated guess!

[@ramsybane7968]

could you make a video for Edmund Leighton ?

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@arthistorygirl2327]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Why do you think the Christ Child seems to be looking not at the King but at St John the Baptist?

[@arthistorygirl2327]

I guess because the painting was for the king and I assumed he'd be the focus. Open to other readings though 😊

why is it called The 'Wilton' Diptych? The artist is unknown.
