Many early European paintings were made to be carried with you. To be reminded of your loved ones and to pray for. Not meant to be hung on a wall these images have fronts and backs of equal importance, they often have intricate encasings, and they were meant to be handled: kissed, stroked and looked after. In this one hour talk we will look at some of these works of art and why they should be appreciated out of the museum context.
