Treasures of the Black Death, February - May 2009

This exhibition is based on the remarkable chance discovery in 1998 in Erfurt, Eastern Germany, of an entire hoard of silver vessels, gold jewellery and coins, concealed near the city’s synagogue around 1350, during the time of the Black Death (1347-52). These treasures survived undiscovered for the last 600 years and last year went on show at the Musée de Cluny, Paris, alongside a comparable hoard discovered in the late 19th-century in Alsace. The Wallace Collection has been given a one-off opportunity to host this exhibition in London, before the objects are returned to Germany where they will go on permanent display at the Synagogue in Erfert.

The Wallace Collection owns one of the richest and most interesting collections in Britain of art from this period, making it an ideal venue for the exhibition. It was Sir Richard Wallace who extended the Collection’s chronological range back to Medieval times when, during the 19th century, there was an explosion of interest in Medieval and Renaissance art.

The exhibition is of exceptional cultural interest, not only for the objects themselves and what they tell us about Medieval fashion and craftsmanship, but also the tragic circumstances that led to their concealment. The treasures were hidden by the Jewish community in Erfurt in the 14th-century: both hoards, and smaller hoards discovered elsewhere in Europe, reflect an extraordinary episode when the Jewish populations of many European cities suffered their worst persecution before the Holocaust. Blamed for the spread of the plague, whole Jewish communities across Europe were massacred; in Erfurt, over 1000 people were killed, the entire Jewish population.
