Luttrell Psalter (1320-1340) Family Feast

Luttrell Psalter (1320-1340) Family Feast

A unique feature of the Luttrell Psalter is how personalized it is in terms of imagery. At the bottom of this page spread Sir Geoffrey is depicted eating a meal alongside his family and two members of the church. Sir Geoffrey sits in the center of the table with his wife and the two clergy members to his right, to his left are his children. The inclusion of his family and the two monks may indicate how Luttrell wanted to depict himself as both a strong leader of his family as well as a pious christian.
