Summary:

This volume includes all the medieval and Renaissance works of art acquired since 2020 in he Wyvern Collection. The recent acquisitions have built on the existing strengths of the collection, while adding new pieces that cover a wide geographical, technical, and stylistic range. Among the highlights in this volume are a German twelfth-century aquamanile in the form of a stag, three early-thirteenth-century Limoges enamels, a rare fourteenth-century cameo of the Virgin and Child, a fourteenth-century French marble canopy from a tomb, and a previously unknown enamelled knop from a processional cross made by the Italian goldsmith and painter Nicola da Guardiagrele around 1410. Italian Renaissance ceramics are also well represented, with examples by such sixteenth-century masters as Giorgio Andreoli da Gubbio, the so-called Milan Marsyas Painter, Francesco Xanto Avelli, and Orazio Fontana da Urbino. The Wyvern Collection is especially strong in the painted enamels of Renaissance Limoges, and three pieces have been added to this category, including an ewer by Pierre Reymond. There are also sculptures in stone, wood, and bronze and an early sixteenth-century stained and painted glass roundel from the Northern Netherlands.
