Wall Paintings of Eton

The book discusses two rare and important survivals of wall painting schemes at Eton College - the late 15th-century Miracles of the Virgin on the walls of the College Chapel, and an early 16th-century depiction of a school scene, discovered under 18th-century panelling in the Head Master's Chambers in 2005 - each connected with a major early phase of building at the College, and each representing different strands of artistic development in England. Discussions of iconography, context and function, and artistic links and influences are accompanied by detailed analyses of materials and techniques.
