The Utrecht Psalter

The Utrecht Psalter is a ninth century illuminated psalter and an important product of Carolingian art. Produced at Rheims between 816 and 835, the Psalter was sponsored by the Archbishop Ebbo just before he was deposed. The Utrecht Psalter is lavishly illustrated with lively pen and ink drawings for each psalm; some psalms are illustrated with multiple drawings. The Psalter was copied in whole three times over a few hundred year span, with copies made in other media.
