From Abbot Aidan's Lindisfarne, from Abbot Adamnan's Iona, and from the monasteries of Ireland, Northumbria and Kent, there emerged such famous manuscripts as 'The Lindisfarne Gospels, The book of Kells and The book of Durrow.The artists who laboured on these manuscripts achieved a 'national' style of decoration that was distinguished by intricate design and the extravagantly elongated, representation of hounds, birds, snakes, lizards and mythical creatures - a perpetual and delightful challenge to the eye.Carl Nordenfalk of the University of Pittsburgh has provided the Introduction and Commentaries for the forty-eight colour plates reprodcued in 'Celtic and Anglo-Saxon painting'.Additionally, there are selections from the manuscripts of that period illustrating the distinctive, colourful and inventive style of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon art in the 'Dark Ages'.
