Richard II kneels on bare rocky ground, presented by John the Baptist and the sainted English kings Edmund and Edward the Confessor to the Virgin and Child, who stand among eleven angels in a flowering meadow. Painted for the king by an unknown French or English artist, this portable altarpiece is a rare survival of English royal panel painting, rich in lapis blue and gold.
Look closer
The angels wear Richard's white hart badge. At the top of the banner a tiny orb shows a green island with a white tower in a silver sea: England, under Mary's protection.
