Psalter of Blanche of Castile
Psalter of Blanche of Castile Painting ID:: 64992 |
1235 Illumination on parchment, 28 x 20 cm Biblioth?que de l'Arsenal, Paris This is a page from the so-called Psalter of Blanche of Castile representing the Crucifixion and Deposition. This psalter - according to a fourteenth-century tradition - belonged to Blanche of Castile (died 1252), the mother of Louis IX. It is a richly decorated book with illustrations arranged in roundels. This idea almost certainly derives from stained glass. Since the glazier was a specialized sort of painter, it is not surprising to find the two professions overlapping. Stained glass frequently mirrors the style of manuscript painting; and here the illuminator seems to be adapting to a page layout an idea taken over from the glazier. , MINIATURIST, French , Psalter of Blanche of Castile , 1201-1250 , French , illumination , religious 1235 Illumination on parchment, 28 x 20 cm Biblioth?que de l'Arsenal, Paris This is a page from the so-called Psalter of Blanche of Castile representing the Crucifixion and Deposition.
