Exhibition Spotlight: Episode 4, The Arenberg Psalter-Breviary: Life on the edge

In the latest episode of the mini-series accompanying our exhibition ‘The Margins of Medieval Art: Questioning the Center’, Sandra Hindman considers life on the edge in the Arenberg Psalter-Breviary.

The quintessential features of French Gothic art in the High Middle Ages find full expression in this beautiful manuscript. Here serious religious imagery is combined with playful borders displaying scenes from daily life, real and imaginary, enacted by people and animals.
