King David in Prayer in an Initial B

- 14.0 x 14.0 cm
扎诺比·斯特罗齐(1412 – 1468)
探索来自佛罗伦萨的文艺复兴时期画家及手抄本插画师赞诺比·斯特罗齐(Zanobi Strozzi)。他以祭坛画、圣母与圣婴板画以及手抄本插画闻名。来这里发现受安杰利科修士(Fra Angelico)影响的艺术杰作。
The initial B introduces Psalm 1: B[eatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum et in via peccatorum non] stetit et in c[athedra pestilentiae non sedit] ("Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers").King David kneels in prayer, his eyes raised toward a vision of the hand of God, blessing him from the heavens; nearby are his crown and psaltery, a stringed instrument. In the upper and lower left corners are the cropped figures of two Benedictine monks. This initial was removed from a now-lost psalter (a book of psalms) produced for the monks of the Benedictine abbey of Florence, the Badia Fiorentina. The volume was decorated by the Florentine painter and illuminator Strozzi, a follower and assistant of Fra Angelico.
