So rich in detailed metalwork and stonework, it reached its finest flowering in the Gospel Books of the 6th-10th centuries. These illuminated manuscripts are characterized by beauty and intricacy in design, with geometric patterns and delicate interlacing of lines and curves. The brilliant coloring enriching this imaginative work makes each page a celebration of artistic creativity.
The Book of Kells and The Book of Darrow, both in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, The Lindisfarme Gospels in the British Library in London, and The Barberini Manuscript in the Vatican Library, are among the finest art treasures in the world.
Absolutely Amazing!
