New Views of the Middle Ages

Why does medieval art matter today? This beautifully illustrated book
will examine this question through the lens of the magnificent objects
in the Wyvern Collection of Medieval and Early Renaissance art,
accompanying the collection's first exhibition in the United States.
Works include exquisite examples of metalwork, stone and wood sculpture,
and illuminated manuscripts from across Europe, as well as the
Christian community of Ethiopia. Offering new photography and
complementary text, this book will be an essential resource for one of
the world's most important private collections of medieval art, and a
fascinating read for all interested in the Middle Ages and the role of
art history in exploring our world.
