Painting: Queen Mary Psalter
1300-1320 Illumination on parchment British Library, London The large codex contains hundreds of illustrations of scenes from the Old and New Testament. It is one of the most outstanding piece of the 14th century English codices. This page is divided into six fields of different background patterns, all representing the figures of a prophet and an apostle. Their names are at the bottom of the fields: Sofonias-Philippus, Micheas-Matheus, Daniel-Tadeus, Iohel-Bartolomeus, Malachias-Simon, Ezechiel-Mathias. The name of the codex comes from the fact that 200 years after its creation it was given to Queen Mary of Tudor. , MINIATURIST, English , Queen Mary' Psalter , 1301-1350 , English , illumination , religious
