Insular Art

Relative isolation has enabled a unique style to emerge.

In the British Isles, a distinct style of manuscript art emerged, called 'insular' art, from the Latin 'insula' (island). Insular art is much more dense and imaginative than illuminations from the continent, with spirals and complicated geometric shapes appearing - possibly due to Celtic influences. The Germanic influence and traditions of the Anglo-Saxons also saw pagan motifs - animals and nature - featuring heavily. The Book of Kells, an Irish version of the Bible from approximately AD800, is one of the most intricately decorated examples of insular art to have survived to the present day, with entire pages of vibrant colours, intricate shapes and complicated patternwork.
