EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Hunterian Psalter, created by an anonymous English artist in the 12th century. The image depicts a Mailed Crusader, adorned in intricate chain mail armor and wielding a sword and shield with great valor. This medieval manuscript, measuring 29.2x19.1 cm, is housed at the Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The Hunterian Psalter is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and artistic mastery. Within its pages lie various sections including Kalendarivm, Psalterivm, Litania, and Preces Qvaedam. Formerly known as the York Psalter, this remarkable piece features beautifully written text by one skilled hand. In this particular scene captured on film by Bridgeman Images, we are drawn to the knight's resolute gaze as he stands ready to embark on his crusade against all odds. The illuminated initials that begin each Psalm add an ethereal touch to this already enchanting artwork. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to a time of chivalry and bravery when knights like these fought valiantly for their beliefs. The attention to detail in depicting every aspect of the knight's attire - from his helmet down to his chainmail - is truly awe-inspiring. This print serves as a testament not only to the talent of the English School artist but also as a reminder of our enduring fascination with medieval times and their legendary warriors who continue to captivate
