The Westminster Retable, the oldest known panel painting altarpiece in England, is estimated to have been painted in the 1270s in the circle of Plantagenet court painters, for Westminster Abbey, very probably for the high altar. It is thought to have been donated by Henry III of England as part of his Gothic redesign of the Abbey. The painting survived only because it was incorporated into furniture between the 16th and 19th centuries, and much of it has been damaged beyond restoration. According to one specialist, the "Westminster Retable, for all its wounded condition, is the finest panel painting of its time in Western Europe."

| - Le retable de Westminster est le plus ancien retable en bois peint d'Angleterre. Probablement exécuté dans les années 1260-1270 par un des artistes de la cour des Plantagenêt, le retable était destiné au maître-autel de l'abbaye de Westminster. On pense qu'il a été commandé par Henri III d'Angleterre, lors de la redécoration gothique de l'abbaye. Entre le XVIe siècle et le XIXe siècle, le panneau a été intégré dans un meuble, ce qui a permis la conservation d'une partie de la couche picturale. Selon un spécialiste, le retable de Westminster, malgré son état de conservation, est le plus beau panneau peint de son époque en Europe occidentale. (fr)

In 1998 the Hamilton Kerr Institute in Cambridge, with support from the Getty Foundation and the Heritage Lottery Fund, began a six-year project to clean and conserve what remained of the work. Upon completion, it was displayed at the National Gallery, London for four months in 2005 before being returned to Westminster Abbey, where it was on display in the museum. (en)
