摘要：

The iconography of the Westminster Retable is compared primarily with sources in the Bible moralisee tradition created in France in the thirteenth century. Through analysing the iconography of the miracle scenes displayed on the Retable and relating them to specific copies of the Bible moralisee it is suggested that the artist of the Retable had close personal knowledge of French models. Analysis of the iconography of the central section of the Retable suggests that the text of the Golden Legend may also have been used by the artist and/or the iconographer as a source. It is also suggested that there is an underlying theme in the Retable that relates closely to the creation of the Westminster pavement. Finally, it is suggested that the artist of the Westminster Retable should be integrated into the history of French painting as much as of English painting in order to explore more fully the possibility that he was trained in France.
