Art of the Celts: From 700 BC to the Celtic Revival Lloyd Laing
The entire spectrum of Celtic art, is revealed here - from the rich treasures found throughout Iron Age Europe, through the flowering of metalwork, sculpture and manuscript illumination during the Dark Ages, to the revivals and `druidomania' which carry the story up to the present. There is not one single, unbroken tradition but many diverse strands of development which interweave to create the magnificent works we term `Celtic Art'. Both the language of Celtic art and its virtuosity speak directly to the modern artist and to a wide public.
