EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the opening pages of the Lewis Psalter, a remarkable medieval manuscript dating back to the 13th century. The intricate artwork, created with tempera on vellum, depicts the calendar pages for October and November. In this stunning composition, we are transported into a world filled with mythical creatures and enchanting scenes. The vibrant red background sets the stage for an array of fascinating elements that capture our attention. A female archer gracefully holds her bow and arrow while standing next to a barrel, symbolizing brewing or distillation. The calendar roundels feature various animals and mythological beings such as centaurs and six-legged creatures. Each page is adorned with exquisite calligraphy in gold gilt lettering, adding an air of sophistication to this illuminated psalter. As we delve deeper into these autumnal months depicted in the Lewis Psalter, we are reminded of nature's beauty during this time of year. The changing seasons come alive through this artful representation - from golden leaves falling gently from trees to mysterious creatures roaming amidst a backdrop of blue skies. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind medieval manuscripts but also provides us with a glimpse into history itself. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past and continues to inspire awe in viewers today.
