EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Hunterian Psalter, dating back to the 12th century. In this intricate pen and ink illustration, we witness an intense moment between biblical figures Saul, David, and Doeg. The English School artist skillfully captures the tension and drama of this ancient tale. Doeg can be seen whispering into Saul's ear while pointing towards David. Meanwhile, David stands tall with Goliath's sword in hand, ready to confront his enemies. The composition is filled with symbolism and power as these characters navigate their roles within the narrative. The artwork itself is part of a larger collection known as the Hunterian Psalter or York Psalter. It features meticulously written text alongside stunning illuminations and gilt details that enhance its visual impact. Measuring at 29.2x19.1 cm, this piece resides in Glasgow University Library in Scotland under their care. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it offers us a glimpse into medieval court life through its depiction of crown-wearing warriors and knights. With its richly detailed manuscript style, complete with historiated initials and illuminated capital letters adorned with Celtic knots and dragons, this image transports viewers back to a bygone era of royalty and chivalry. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary print from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty found within ancient manuscripts like the Hunterian Psalter.
