Guide to the collections of an award-winning British art gallery (110 color ill.).
Compton Verney's collections focus on areas currently under-represented by British museum and galleries. Features the largest selection of British Folk Art in the UK.
Compton Verney, a Grade-I listed mansion house in Warwickshire, England, was redesigned by Robert Adam in the 1760s and is set in parkland landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Compton Verney was bought by Compton Verney House Trust to be transformed into an art gallery. It was opened to the public in 2004 and houses six permanent collections, highlighting areas that are under-represented in the UK. The collection of paintings from Naples represents a cross-section of masterpieces from the 'Golden Age' of Neapolitan art from 1600 to 1800. German medieval art from 1450 to 1650 includes work by Cranach, Riemenschneider and Schongauer. The display of Chinese bronzes is the largest collection outside London. Compton Verney also holds the largest collection of British Folk Art in the UK, as well as a selection of British portraits and the work of 20th-century textile designer Enid Marx, with objects she collected with the historian Margaret Lambert.
