EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a stunning scene from the Hunterian Psalter, dating back to the 12th century. In this particular image, we see David tuning his harp, surrounded by intricate details and symbolism. The full-page picture showcases circular medallions at the corners containing angels and musicians. Between these heavenly beings is a captivating view of the Temple and Jerusalem. At the center of attention is David himself, diligently tuning his harp with great focus. Above him, a Heavenly Hand appears in benediction above a white bar adorned with 15 bells being hammered by two men dressed in green and red attire. These men stand on a blue bar that they reached using ladders placed on either side. Beneath David's footstool lies an array of talented musicians playing various instruments. A man in red and blue plays a four-stringed fiddle while a woman in buff and white dress skillfully handles a three-stringed bass viol. Two children can be seen playing pan-pipes (?) and what seems to be some kind of bagpipe-like instrument. On one side, musicians play handbells and zither while on the other side, another musician sings while playing an intriguing composite musical instrument resembling musical glasses combined with a three-stringed hurdy-gurdy operated by another youth using a handle. This print offers us an extraordinary glimpse into medieval music-making through its meticulous artistry captured on vellum with pen & ink as well as tempera techniques.
