Insular Art
Insular Art, also known as Hiberno-Saxon art, was a style that flourished in the British Isles during the early Middle Ages, particularly from the 6th to the 9th century. It was characterized by intricate designs, intricate interlacing patterns, and highly detailed illustrations of religious texts. Insular Art is famous for its illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels, which were meticulously decorated with vibrant colors and ornate decorations. This style achieved its peak during the Golden Age of Northumbria in the 7th and 8th centuries.
