Celtic art : from its beginnings to the Book of Kells

Megaw, Ruth1990
Books, Manuscripts
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 Sea to the Baltic and from Anatolia to County Armagh, they investigate the antecedents of the Celtic art, the styles and motifs employed, and the relationship of the Celts and their art to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean.
