EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Hunterian Psalter, created by the English School in the 12th century. Titled "Ms Hunter 229 f. 3r Going Hawking" this exquisite piece of art depicts a scene of May in the Kalendarivm section of the psalter. In this intricate illustration, we see a mounted figure dressed in an elegant pink robe and red hose, accompanied by a dapple grey horse with a brown mane. The figure holds a majestic hawk on their right hand as they emerge from an open castle gate. The saddle is adorned with gilt accents, while silver stirrups add to its opulence. The attention to detail is remarkable; even the quarry - a wild duck - can be seen flying in the margin. This portrayal beautifully captures both medieval life and nature's beauty. The Hunterian Psalter, also known as York Psalter, is renowned for its stunning illuminations and miniatures throughout its pages. It features thirteen full-page pictures along with illuminated initials that begin each Psalm. This print offers us an enchanting glimpse into history, showcasing not only skilled craftsmanship but also providing insights into medieval sporting activities such as hawking. With its delicate pen and ink work combined with tempera on vellum technique, it truly exemplifies the mastery of manuscript illumination during this period.
