EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lower dish of the Psalter by Charles the Bald (Charles II) from the 9th century. Created by an unknown artist, this ivory miniature depicts a powerful biblical scene known as "Nathan came to kill the child". The image portrays a tragic moment in history, illustrating the consequences of King David's adulterous relationship with Bethsabee. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of this artwork are truly remarkable. The artist skillfully captures emotions through their use of light and shadow, bringing life to each character depicted. This piece is part of a larger collection housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. As we gaze upon this ancient treasure, we are transported back in time to an era filled with artistic expression and religious devotion. It serves as a testament to both the talent of medieval artisans and their dedication to preserving stories from scripture. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. The medium age charm exudes from every brushstroke or chisel mark on display here. It is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation. This photograph was taken by © Photo Josse and is now available for all art enthusiasts who wish to bring home a piece of history into their lives.
