Context:
Follower of the Master of the Queen Mary Psalter (England, East Anglia)Leaf from a Psalter:Initial D: The Trinity, about 1310Ink, tempera, and gold on vellumThe Jeanne Miles Blackburn Collection CMA 1999.125[Cat. no. 15 ]The text of Psalm 109 is introduced by a large initial "D" for Dixit dominus domino (The Lord said unto my Lord), within which appears the Trinity. In the early days of the Christian Church, artists were reluctant to represent naturalistically the first person of the Trinity (God the Father), who, being unseen was also unknowable. By the 12th century, however, northern artists began to portray God the Father in human form, along with Christ, seated to his right, and the Holy Ghost, symbolized by a dove. Psalm 109 is nearly universally interpreted as God the Father speaking to Christ. In French and English psalters, God and Christ are typically enthroned together, with the dove descending between them.The white flesh tones, elegant wavy coiffures, and elongated fingers of the figures relate this leaf to what is probably the most "Parisian" of all surviving English illuminated manuscripts of the early 1300s, the Queen Mary Psalter (London, British Library), named after the 16th-century English queen who seems to have once owned it. The workshop of the Queen Mary Psalter was active in East Anglia from about 1310 to 1335, though its specific location remains unknown. It presumably competed with workshops in Norwich, Cambridge, Bury St. Edmunds, and the so-called "Fenland" workshops.
