Title
Rutland Psalter (1260) Organist
Description
Music is a common subject that is found throughout grotesque manuscript illustrations. This page from the Rutland Psalter depicts King David playing the organ, alongside two other musicians. This illustration works visually as an extension of the decorative boarder on the lefthand side of the page. It is common for grotesque illustrations to blur the line between text, miniature illustration, and decoration.
