EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Gherardo di Giovanni di Miniato, a 15th-century Italian artist. The image features Ms 37-1950, ff. 1v-2r: Title page and miniature of King David in prayer from the Medici Psalter, created in Florence around 1480-90. Measuring at 19.3x12.5 cm, this gold ink and tempera on parchment masterpiece can be found at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical treasure. The focal point is an enchanting depiction of King David immersed in deep prayer against a heavenly landscape backdrop. With his crown placed humbly beside him, he kneels before God with utmost devotion while angels surround him. Intriguingly adorned margins showcase various elements such as musical instruments and cherubs that add to the ornate beauty of this illuminated manuscript. The presence of souls being judged by Christ on Judgment Day further enhances its spiritual significance. Noteworthy details include a portrayal of Virgin Mary during the Annunciation and scenes from hell contrasting with those depicting heaven's serenity. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this remarkable piece without compromising any aspect or nuance intended by Gherardo di Giovanni di Miniato himself. This print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion prevalent during the Renaissance period.
