Celtic Art In Pagan And Christian Times is a comprehensive book written by J. Romilly Allen that explores the art and culture of the ancient Celtic people. The book covers the period from the pre-Christian era to the early Christian period, and examines how the art of the Celts evolved during this time.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the pagan art of the Celts. This includes an in-depth exploration of the intricate designs and symbols that were commonly used in Celtic art, as well as the materials and techniques used to create these works. The second part of the book looks at the Christian influence on Celtic art, including the introduction of new motifs and symbols, and the ways in which Christian art was adapted to fit into the existing Celtic artistic tradition.Throughout the book, Allen provides detailed descriptions and analysis of various examples of Celtic art, including metalwork, stone carvings, and illuminated manuscripts. He also explores the historical and cultural context in which these works were created, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the significance of Celtic art in the broader context of European art history.Overall, Celtic Art In Pagan And Christian Times is a fascinating and informative book that offers a unique insight into the art and culture of the ancient Celtic peoples.
