The Wilton Diptych is a small portable diptych of two hinged panels, painted on both sides, created during the late 14th century by an unknown artist in the International Gothic style. The left panel of the diptych is a particularly significant work of medieval religious art, featuring King Richard II of England (1367–1400) presented by his three patron saints—Saint John the Baptist, Saint Edward the Confessor, and Saint Edmund the Martyr. This panel, along with its counterpart, is painted in tempera on oak and measures 53 x 37 cm (approximately 21 x 15 inches).

The left panel is notable for its rich iconography and the representation of the young king, who is depicted in a state of pious devotion. Richard II is shown kneeling before the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, who are accompanied by a host of eleven angels in the right panel. The saints are identifiable by their attributes: Saint John the Baptist holds a lamb, Saint Edward the Confessor bears a ring, and Saint Edmund the Martyr is depicted with an arrow, the instrument of his martyrdom.

The background of the left panel is adorned with a pattern of white hart, Richard II's heraldic badge, and the king himself is shown wearing luxurious robes, his hands clasped in prayer. The meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the textiles and the king's features exemplifies the sophistication of courtly art at the time.

The Wilton Diptych is named after the Wilton House in Wiltshire, where it was housed for a time. It is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London. The diptych's exact purpose remains a matter of scholarly debate, but it is widely believed to have been used as a personal devotional object, possibly commissioned by Richard II himself. The identity of the artist remains unknown, but the style suggests that he was French or worked in a French-influenced milieu. The Wilton Diptych is considered one of the most important and best-preserved examples of late medieval English panel painting, offering a rare glimpse into the religious and cultural milieu of the time.
