Verrocchio,Baptism of Christ

Wilton Diptych


- London NG 1395-1399




- made of two wooden panels hinged together


- Depicts king Richard II kneeling with his 3 favorite saints


- Very personal image, does not refer to any well known story.


- It does not show where it is taking place and the dull background therefore suggests that this is a vision, or something spiritual. Another clue is the direction of the gazes.


- King Richard is looking away, suggests that he is seeing it with his mind rather than his eyes.


- King Richard looks youthful and is wearing very rich clothes. This is an idealistic depiction of them, e.g. he was born 28 years before the painting was made and yet looks very youthful. It is meant to portray him in a particularly flattering way.


- King Richard is wearing a heart (livery badge) which is an indication of the monarchy. Other people wearing it, shows their allegiance to this person. All of the angels are wearing the livery badge, as if they are paying allegiance to the King. Suggests Richard’s kingship is divine.


- Virgin Mary is offering Christ in Richard’s direction and Christ is making a blessing gesture. - -Apotropaic function is suggested by the small size. He could keep it close to him and carry it along.

- Catherine of Cleves before Virgin Mary Hours of Catherine of Cleves Utrecht 1440. (New York, Morgan Library).




- Is a book of hours

Apocalypse Murals London, Chapter House, Westminster Abbey (c.1400)


- Represents scenes from the apocalypse, mystical last book in Christianity. Monks began their day by looking at these images.


- Artist has arranged the images in a very skillful way, that does not disrupt the sequence of the order of visions in the book.


- Scenes from the life of St. John Continuous narrative- when figures are repeated within the same pictorial space to suggest the passing of time. Use of gold in the halos.Christ among the candlesticks

Stylistic features of late gothic art

- Figures are elongated, idealized, elegance. Rendered according to the standard of beauty at the time.


- large fold drapery, does not reveal much of the body beneathhair is smooth


- skin is light coloredfigures


- objects often outlined in black


- gothic artists used bright colors e.g. red and bluein expensive works artists used gold leaf. - Has symbolic qualityarchitechtural canopies as framing devices. S Stance

Late Medieval Painting Important Functions:



- decorative used to enrich public and private spaces


- mnemonic (memory aid)


- devotional


- apotropaic (protective) used to avert evil


Nativity: Hoursof Catherine Cleves These paintings would help people remember bible stories but would not teach them the stories.


- Image is mnemonic.


- Marginalia- often when little distractions are running along side the main image that you are meant to be looking at.

There is no staining involved in stained glass. Glass colored by adding metallic salts. All faces, details etc. painted on the glass. In this we see the virgin Mary in S curve stance, classic Gothic stylist feature. Light had symbolic value. Stained glass is both of aesthetic and spiritual significance. Light passing through the glass without breaking it is a visual metaphor of how virgin Mary conceived christ without losing her virginity.
