This book is an edited record of the papers given at the two-day
symposium 'Italian Maiolica and Europe' held in Oxford on 22 and 23
September 2017. It is, in effect, a celebration of his long service
in the Ashmolean Museum as the Keeper of Western Art. Museum
collections develop their great strengths in one of two ways:
through gifts of private collections and through the knowledge and
enthusiasm of curators. The Ashmolean's renowned and important
collection of Italian Maiolica owes its foundation to the former
and the bequest of C.D.E. Fortnum. But it has grown and developed
in remarkable ways over the last three decades thanks to the energy
and expertise of Professor Timothy Wilson. During his 27 years as
Keeper of Western Art, Tim was responsible for a truly
extraordinary range and number of important acquisitions across the
fine and decorative arts. As one of the world's leading scholars of
Italian Maiolica, it was only natural that he would continue to
build on Fortnum's legacy.
