EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the medieval era. Titled "Ms 322 f. 28r, Psalm 26, initial D, David harping before Saul" it is an illustration taken from the De Brailes Psalter dating back to around 1250. The image features a beautifully illuminated manuscript with intricate details and vibrant colors. In the center of the page, we see King David playing his harp while standing before King Saul. This depiction comes from the Old Testament story where David's soothing music helps alleviate Saul's troubled spirit. The artist behind this masterpiece is William de Brailes, a renowned figure in early English art history. His talent shines through in every stroke of this historiated initial that adorns the beginning of Psalm 26. The harmonious blend of music and spirituality depicted here transports us back to a time when illuminated manuscripts were treasured possessions and served as important religious texts for worshipers. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, this print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of medieval artistry. It allows us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such works and their cultural importance within society at that time.
