MS 1-2005, fol. 15r - A Hare and a Dog playing an Organ - A Whimsical Delight
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print captures a delightful scene from the medieval era, found within the pages of the Macclesfield Psalter. The image showcases a playful interaction between two unlikely characters – a hare and a dog – as they engage in an unexpected musical performance. The anthropomorphic figures are depicted with intricate detail, showcasing the creativity and skill of the English School artist from the 14th century. The hare confidently plays an organ while sitting on its hind legs, while the dog accompanies with fervor by blowing into what appears to be some sort of wind instrument. Surrounded by lush foliage and decorative letters that adorn this manuscript's margins, this marginal decoration adds both humor and whimsy to its overall composition. It is fascinating to witness how even centuries ago, artists found joy in infusing animals with human-like qualities for entertainment purposes. As we gaze upon this illuminated masterpiece preserved at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, we can't help but appreciate how art transcends time. This image not only offers us insight into medieval culture but also reminds us of our shared fascination with music and laughter across generations. Let this charming artwork bring warmth to your space as it invites you to revel in its timeless appeal – reminding us that sometimes unexpected collaborations can create moments of pure delight.
