Susannah Kingwill.
Susannah’s research focuses on the objects present at the courts of France during the reigns of the Valois kings Charles V and VI, with a secondary interest in panel paintings produced in the Burgundian Netherlands in the late 14th and early 15th century. Her PhD thesis examines the numerous metalwork crosses owned by Charles V and his brothers, the Dukes of Anjou, Berry, and Burgundy. Between 2021 and 2024 Susannah was an Associate Lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. She has been working with the Wyvern Collection since April 2021 and was appointed the inaugural Director of the Institute in June 2024. Her research has been published in the Burlington Magazine.
