EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delightful scene from the Hunterian Psalter, a medieval manuscript dating back to the 12th century. In this intricate detail, we are transported to a whimsical world where an Ass is seated playing a harp while a Goat stands on his hind legs and sings along. The anthropomorphic nature of these animals adds an element of surrealism and humor to the composition. The pen and ink technique combined with tempera on vellum creates rich textures and intricate details that bring this scene to life. The decorative lettering and historiated capital further enhance the ornate beauty of this medieval artwork. Set against a night backdrop, this image evokes a sense of serenade or nocturne as the Ass strums his harp and the Goat lends its voice in song. It is truly fascinating how music unites even unlikely creatures in harmony. This print not only captures the essence of medieval art but also celebrates the power of music as it transcends boundaries. Whether you appreciate historical manuscripts, animal symbolism, or simply enjoy whimsical imagery, this piece is sure to captivate your imagination.
