EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval artwork titled "Ms Hunter 229 f. 8r Expulsion from Eden". Created by the English School in the 12th century, this piece is part of the renowned Hunterian Psalter, formerly known as the York Psalter. The image depicts Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, with Adam shown delving or digging while Eve spins wool using a spindle. The scene captures the moment when humanity falls from grace due to their disobedience towards God's commandment. An angel wielding a sword guards the entrance to paradise, symbolizing mankind's separation from divine perfection. Both Adam and Eve are depicted naked, representing their newfound shame and vulnerability after indulging in forbidden fruit. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this pen & ink and tempera on vellum artwork are truly mesmerizing. It is one of thirteen full-page pictures within this beautifully written manuscript that features gilt, historiated or illuminated initials for each Psalm. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we can't help but reflect on themes such as sin, punishment, laborious work as a consequence of transgression, and ultimately redemption through faith. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our human nature - flawed yet capable of seeking forgiveness and finding solace amidst our struggles.
