EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable folio from the Psalter and Hours of Isabella of France, an exquisite medieval manuscript created in Paris around 1265-70. The artwork, attributed to the French School of the 13th century, is rendered with pen and ink as well as tempera on parchment. Measuring at 19x14.1 cm, this piece can be found at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. The image depicted on this particular folio is both poignant and significant. It portrays David, the biblical king, lying on his deathbed while acknowledging his son Solomon as his rightful heir. Bathsheba stands beside them, witnessing this solemn moment unfold. This full-page illustration serves as a prefatory scene within the prayer book and book of hours belonging to Isabella of France. The illumination techniques employed in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring; every intricate detail is meticulously crafted with vibrant colors that bring life to each figure portrayed. As we delve into its religious symbolism and ecclesiastical significance, we are reminded of faith's profound impact during medieval times. This photograph not only captures a historical masterpiece but also evokes spirituality and Christian devotion through its portrayal of one family's legacy unfolding before our eyes. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as lineage, mortality, and divine providence – all encapsulated within this single frame from centuries past.
