Here the sumptuous quality of the production is balanced by the great delicacy and refinement in the gestures of the figures. The graceful looping folds into which the drapery is caught was very popular in England. This psalter represents well the English illumination around 1250. ## Related artworks - [Acts of the Abbots]() - [Alphonso Psalter]() - [Anatomical figure]() - [Angels Turning the Spheres of the Universe]() - [Apocalypse]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Beda Venerabilis: The Life of St Cuthbert]() - [Benedictional of Archbishop Robert]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
