For my blog i chose the WILTON DYPTYCH. What stood out in this piece from the other generally bland artwork in the 14th century is the fact that there is a ridiculous amount of angels gathered and cluttered around mary and jesus. In the left panel it looks like a king and other royalty figures have gathered to praise and give offerings to christ, because if they dont all of those angels are gonna beat the royalty out of them(just kidding)haha. Anyway the movement in the right panel that the blue puts off is pretty cool and gets your eye moving.All in all this is a nice flashy piece that shows devotion to religion and seems to have been a little worn over the years.
