The Virgin and Child and the Crucifixion
1340
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This painting shows the Virgin and Child on one side and the Crucifixion on the other. It's a diptych, meaning it has two panels that can be closed like a book. The details are interesting, like the angels holding candlesticks and the Virgin being crowned. The angels attending the Virgin are unique because they wear special belts called morses and don't have wings. This is different from how angels are usually depicted.
