EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, an exquisite manuscript created in England during the 12th century. The image, known as "MS Hunter 229 f. 1v February" depicts a scene from the month of February within the psalter's calendar section. In this intricately detailed illustration, we see a man dressed in a pink cowled garment sitting near a roaring fire under an arched chimney-mantle. He warms his bare legs while another figure clad in blue stoops under the weight of a heavy faggot. The vibrant colors and delicate brushwork bring this medieval scene to life. Adjacent to this main illustration is the sign of Pisces, represented by two gold and silver fish united by an S-like bond of red and white. This symbol is set against a green background adorned with black diaper patterns and white dots. The Hunterian Psalter itself is renowned for its beauty and craftsmanship. It features stunning calligraphy written by one hand throughout its pages, accompanied by thirteen full-page pictures, one full-page illumination, gilt details, historiated initials, and illuminated initials that mark each Psalm's beginning. Preserved at Glasgow University Library in Scotland, this remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into medieval religious practices and artistic techniques. Its rich history continues to captivate viewers today through this mesmerizing print captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of the University of Glasgow Library.
