MINIATURIST, English

(active in the 1240s)

Amesbury Psalter 1240s Illumination on parchment, 305 x 216 mm All Souls College, Oxford

This illustration, depicting the Virgin and Child with a donor, comes from the so-called Amesbury Psalter. Here the sumptuous quality of the production is balanced by the great delicacy and refinement in the gestures of the figures.

The graceful looping folds into which the drapery is caught was very popular in England. This psalter represents well the English illumination around 1250.
