^ MEDIEVAL ENGLAND angels carved in wood, while more angels hold heraldic shields on the side of the tomb chest. Beneath lies the lady's corpse, almost a skeleton, somewhat gruesomely shown; above it on the chest's foot, invisible except by bending down to floor level, is painted the Annunciation, the colours still well preserved in their obscurity. The thin ascetic face of the duchess, the eyes half^closed, is clearly a likeness, the portrait of a woman of character who has known and suffered much; now death has come; already the cheeks are halsunken; the smooth sheen of the alabaster, smoothly carved with little modelling, increases the impression ofthe final moment (PL 108 a); there is none of the deep lines, the round indentations, the humorous hal&smile which Torrigiano gives to Lady Margaret. The last great series of our Gothic standing figures is in Henry VH's chapel. This assemblage of saints is by many hands, some probably not English: there is a German look about these reading prophets, with their fantastic headgear and their voluminous, sharply indented cloaks; the group of St. Sebastian between the archers is set on Gothic pedestals under crocketed canopies, but a renaissance example, from Italy ifat some removes, lies behind this straining, youthful nude (PL 1 08 H). It was, however, mainly in decoration, in friezes and roundels fixed on Gothic frames, in new classical motifs, rams* skulls and cornucopias, that the renaissance influence became apparent, and the Gothic style was still powerful when in 153 8 the first iconoclastic blow was struck by Thomas Crom/ well's injunctions ordering the destruction of 'such feigned images' as were 'abused with pilgrimages'. Ofthe cult images of England many ofthe most revered were ofwood: a holocaust began, the first of many in which our medieval wooden figures perished, so that we only know this great branch of carving in the superb work of screens and choir stalls, such as those worked under the direction of William Brownfleet ofRipon of the roof of Westminster hall (Jl. 1489-1520) or the angels carved by Robert Grassington in Richard II's reign. Gold and silver work had cupidity as an added foe. The great silver shrines such as that ofBecket were melted down, and there are
