EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, the "MS Hunter 229 ff. 15v-16r Pentecost and Christ in Glory" from the Hunterian Psalter, dating back to around 1170. Created by an anonymous English artist, this masterpiece is executed with pen and ink as well as tempera on vellum. The image depicts two distinct scenes side by side. On the left page, we witness the awe-inspiring moment of Pentecost, where tongues of fire descend upon the heads of saints while they receive the Holy Spirit. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this sacred event to life. On the right page, we are presented with a majestic portrayal of Christ in Glory. Surrounded by a radiant aureole and accompanied by evangelist symbols, Jesus Christ stands at the center exuding divine power and grace. The use of gold accents adds a touch of opulence to this ethereal composition. Formerly known as York Psalter but now referred to as Hunterian Psalter after its current location at Glasgow University Library in Scotland, this manuscript is truly extraordinary. It features meticulously written text along with thirteen full-page pictures and illuminated initials that mark each Psalm's beginning. This print captures not only religious devotion but also artistic excellence from the twelfth-century English School. Its significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its ability to inspire contemplation on faith through visual representation.
