![]() ![]() ![]() This comprehensive book brings together the ancient Celts' finest treasures: masterpieces from fourteen centuries that span the full breadth of Europe. Celtic art was Northern Europe's first major contribution to the art of Europe. Its traditions survived the Roman Empire and experienced a renaissance in Irish illuminated manuscripts around 700 CE. Influenced by Greek and Etruscan art, the Celts created a new formal language, one that reached its apex in Central Europe between the 5th and the 3rd century BCE. Archaeological traces have been discovered from Scotland to Turkey, and from Galicia to Hungary. ![]() The mastery of Celtic artists in the areas of metalwork and textiles is well known, but the term 'Celtic art' covers a much broader terrain. Celtic art is at once magnificent and mysterious. Brussel, Mercatorfonds, 2009 Hardcover met stofomslag, Formaat: 28 x 24,5 cm ? 304 blz, 450 illustraties in kleur. ![]()
