1400s Biblical Choir Choristers Dulcimer Harp Illuminated Letter Mediaeval Musician Musicians Percussion Testament Triangle Trumpet 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting early 15th century print depicts King David, the legendary biblical figure and renowned musician, surrounded by his devoted choir of choristers. The scene unfolds within an exquisitely illuminated letter 'C,' a common decorative element in medieval manuscripts. King David, dressed regally in a flowing robe and crown, holds a harp in one hand and raises the other in a gesture of musical direction. His choir, clad in various stages of liturgical vestments, accompany him with an array of medieval instruments, including triangles, percussion, trumpets, and dulcimers. The intricate details of their garments and the delicate lines of their faces reveal the masterful artistry of the illuminator. This image, reminiscent of the rich musical and artistic traditions of the Middle Ages, transports us back to a time when music and faith were inseparable, and the power of a single note could resonate through the ages.
