UNKNOWN MASTER, French Virgin and Child with Angels 1395

UNKNOWN MASTER, French Virgin and Child with Angels 1395

Tempera on oak panel, 36,8 x 26,7 cm
National Gallery, London

This is the right panel of the Wilton Diptych (named after the house in which it was preserved), the finest work in England in the International Gothic style. Although it is a painting of extraordinary beauty and must be from the hand of an artist of the highest rank, critics disagree as to whether he was English, French or Italian. (Web Gallery of Art)
