Celtic Art

From Its Beginnings to the Book of Kells

En savoir plus sur le livre

The fruit of over ten years of research and travel throughout Europe and the British Isles, this is the first single volume to provide a full survey of Celtic arts and crafts from 700 BC to AD 700. The authors discuss the origin and identity of the Celts, and introduce us to the study of their elusive, shape-changing, non-narrative art. Then, in five chronologically organized chapters, ranging from the Black to the Baltic and from Anatolia to County Armagh, they investigate the antecedents of Celtic art, the styles and motifs employed, and the relationship of the Celts and their art to the ancient civilizations of the Meditterranean.
