Abstract
It is the goal of this article to demonstrate that the well-known painting of the martyrdom of St William of Norwich at Loddon is based on a woodcut in the Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493. As such, it represents a further example of the use made by Norfolk screen-painters of continental prints, a phenomenon previously discussed by John Mitchell. The analysis involves a brief general consideration of William’s iconography, and this presents an opportunity to introduce a sculpted image in Catalonia not previously brought into discussions of the saint.
