# Simon Psalter [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MINIATURIST, Russian]() - Date: 1251-1300 - Technique: Manuscript, 275 x 200 mm ## Commentary This manuscript was created for the Monastery of St George in Novgorod. It contains 150 psalms with 3 full-page and 116 smaller miniatures. Although Byzantine stylistic influences can be found in the miniatures, they are dominated by the fundamentally local character that distinguishes the art of Novgorod in the second half of the 13th century. The full-page miniature on folio 239r depicts scenes from the life of King David. It appears between Psalms 118 and 119. ## Related artworks - [Simon Psalter]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
