What are the finest example of surviving medieval paintings?
Huge numbers of very fine paintings on the walls of English churches were sadly destroyed under Henry VIII and (later) Oliver Cromwell, and even during Victorian and later "restoration work". Thanks to the endeavours of the historian E W Tristram during the early 20th century we have his published drawings of many surviving examples of these wall paintings from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries - many of which have been subsequently destroyed and no longer exist. Similarly, domestic paintings on wooden panels from the medieval period were often destroyed during later eras under "improvement" and "updating" work. We know that English churches before Henry VIII's "reforms" contained icon paintings and elaborate shrines to the Saints, all of which were destroyed in the period 1538 - 1541. The loss of medieval art in this way is incalculable. Surviving examples in England are therefore rare and all are extremely precious, although many are perhaps not of the finest quality - their mere survival is a thing to be treasured. Continental medieval paintings did not suffer in the same way and many very fine examples are to be found in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece. See links below for some surviving examples:
