EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms 18 fol. 14 The Acolytes of David, from a psalter" takes us back in time to the medieval era. The image showcases a group of male figures, dressed in traditional robes, surrounding the legendary Hebrew king, David. These individuals are believed to be his loyal followers or acolytes. The composition is beautifully captured on vellum, a type of parchment made from animal skin that was commonly used for manuscripts during this period. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the French School artists who created this piece in the 9th century. Intriguingly, each figure holds a different musical instrument - harp, flute, lute - symbolizing their role as musicians accompanying King David's songs and hymns. This portrayal reflects both religious devotion and cultural significance attached to music during medieval times. The image exudes an air of reverence and tranquility as these acolytes gather around their esteemed leader. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistic expression prevalent during the Carolingian period. Displayed here by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this mesmerizing print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value as it transports us back centuries ago when art served as both documentation and inspiration for generations to come.
