古代晚期和中世纪早期现在被理解为装饰艺术中技能和创造力非凡的时代。在东罗马帝国(拜占庭),艺术家和工匠们从 "罗马 "艺术过渡到 "拜占庭 "艺术,并利用连接地中海世界和东方的深厚艺术联系,激发了从自然主义到更多的象形和象征性风格的转变。 Wyvern收藏的这一时期的许多壮观的艺术品都是奢侈品,大多数是由富有的赞助人或教会委托制作的,年代从四世纪到1300年左右不等。对艺术史具有重大意义的杰作,包括以前未曾发表的5世纪阿尔忒弥斯祭坛,以及11世纪君士坦丁堡的珐琅彩珐琅器,都是藏品中的亮点。其他非凡的物品--晚期的罗马战车装饰、来自叙利亚的石制葬礼门和罗马士兵家属带来的横跨欧洲的胸针--完善了这个伟大的地中海和波斯文明的艺术全景,其创造性的影响延伸到伊斯兰世界的西部。 该目录由拜占庭金属制品专家Marco Aimone撰写,并附有三篇技术专家的文章。Jack Ogden(珐琅)、Peter Northover(冶金)和Erica Cruikshank Dodd(印记)。Rika Gyselen还对波斯铭文进行了解读。 Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages are now understood as times of extraordinary skill and creativity in the decorative arts. In the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) artists and craftsmen transitioned from ‘Roman’ to ‘Byzantine’ art and inspired a move from naturalism to a more hieratic and symbolic style, drawing on the deep artistic links connecting the Mediterranean world and the East. The many spectacular artefacts from this period in the Wyvern Collection are luxury objects, most commissioned by wealthy patrons or the Church, ranging in date from the fourth century to around 1300. Masterpieces of great significance for art history, including a 5th-century Artemis missorium, previously unpublished, and an 11th-century enamelled enkolpion from Constantinople are among the highlights of the collection. Other extraordinary objects – Late Roman chariot decorations, a stone funerary door from Syria and brooches brought across Europe by the families of Roman soldiers – complete this artistic panorama of the great Mediterranean and Persian civilizations, whose creative influence extended to the far west of the Islamic world. The catalogue, by Byzantine metalwork expert Marco Aimone, is augmented by three essays from technical specialists: Jack Ogden (enamelling), Peter Northover (metallurgy) and Erica Cruikshank Dodd (hallmarks). Rika Gyselen also contributes readings of Persian inscriptions.
