This little piece of monkish humour is one of a series of paintings inspired by the marginalia found in illuminated manuscripts of the medieval era. For this piece, I found inspiration in the Gorleston Psalter (c1310 - 1324), a particularly eccentric manuscript full of bottoms, rudery and medieval weirdness. The original manuscript is in the care of The British Library, who have made a selection of high resolution images available online for public access.
My little tribute painting has been created, with liberties and embellishments, using watercolour, ink and casein, embellished with 23.75 carat gold. The painting is varnished and mounted to a wooden panel and offered ready to hang in a beautiful 9½ x 7½” wooden frame.
The listed price includes free UK shipping. I am very happy to ship worldwide upon request. (If you live outside the UK, please contact me to discuss the postage options for your country.)
