Panel Painting (Sacred Art and Iconography)

Paintings made on a single wooden panel or a small set of panels for devotion or display, such as the Wilton Diptych and portable paintings of deities or saints. An entry belongs here when the work is a movable painted panel. It excludes altarpieces made for an altar and paintings made directly on a wall. The group page sets related works side by side so that a reader can compare how a tradition, medium or period pictured its sacred subjects.
