Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

With Christianisation in the 6th century, the insular book painting evolved in Ireland as well North Umbria which was Christianised from Ireland. This special style of book art combined Irish ornamentics with Anglo-Saxon elements and Roman world of painting. Through the Irish-Scottish missionary, illuminated manuscripts came to continental Europe and influenced European book illumination there. Even after a breakdown of insular book production in the 8th century, illuminated manuscripts in Irish tradition evolved in continental Europe. Receptions were made (amongst others) by the Carolingian book illumination, as well as during the time of the Ottonian art. In this case study the various forms of insular book art and its influence on continental Europe will be shown and further examined.
