The St. Albans Psalter (c. 1125-1135), is generally regarded as the earliest surviving masterpiece of Anglo-Norman painting. Its extensive picture cycle includes over 200 historiated initials accompanying the psalms and prayers. The original Psalter is kept at the Church of St Godehard in Hildesheim. A copy of an ancient religious book, created in St Albans almost a thousand years ago, has been given to the Si.Albans city's cathedral.

Simon Marmion (1420-1489) was employed by several members of the ducal family, including Charles the Bold and Margaret of York.

He was called "the prince of illuminators" by a near contemporary.

Three years after his death his widow, Jeanne de Quaroube, married his pupil, the painter Jan Provoost, who on her death inherited the considerable Marmion estate.
