EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, a remarkable 12th-century manuscript. The image depicts the month of March, beautifully rendered in pen and ink with tempera on vellum. In the historiated letter "K" we see a man dressed in a vibrant red mantle, his bare legs and black boots firmly planted as he diligently digs at the root of a tree using a white wooden spade shod with iron. Adjacent to this scene is an intricately bordered sign of Aries, representing the astrological sign for March. Here, a grey ram with striking green spiral horns stands against a vivid red background adorned with delicate white tracery. The Hunterian Psalter itself is an exquisite work of art, boasting meticulous script and stunning illuminations throughout its pages. It features thirteen full-page pictures, including one magnificent full-page illumination embellished with gilt accents. Each Psalm begins with an ornate initial illuminated or historiated in gold. This particular print captures not only the beauty of medieval manuscript art but also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. From gardening and planting to astrology and zodiacal symbolism, it provides us with fascinating insights into both cultural practices and artistic expression from centuries past.
