Leaf from a Psalter: Initial D: A Fool Rebuked by God

Cleveland Museum of Art

Medieval illuminated manuscript page with decorative border. The border is blue, gold, and brown, with intricate swirls and patterns. A large initial "D" dominates the left side, containing a scene of a man in a blue robe holding a staff. The man appears to be walking or dancing; his right arm is raised. Behind him is a patterned background and a small angel or demon figure. The right side of the page features two smaller figures: one is a man in a yellow robe playing a stringed instrument; the other is a man in a hat sitting on the ground, possibly playing a flute. The text is written in black calligraphy, with some red accents. The page has a beige background with darker edges. The overall style is Gothic. Title: Leaf from a Psalter: Initial D: A Fool Rebuked by God. Artist unknown.
