This book showcases the art of the Celts in all its glory, from exquisite gold jewelry to spectacular decorated weapons of war. It presents a superb pictorial record of the Celts, with specially commissioned artworks and over 100 magnificent photographs, all in full colour. The book also illustrates the full magnificence of Celtic manuscript illumination and the astonishing intricacy of knotwork and other patterning.
Also revealed, with full commentary, are the broad repertoire of Celtic symbols and motifs - from solar spirals to the salmon of prophecy. In addition, a fascinating and authoritative text accompanies the rich treasury of images, and the book moves deftly from theme to theme to present a fresh appraisal of the cultural legacy of the Celts. 'The Celts: Life, Myth And Art' sets the art of the Celts against the broader background of Celtic wisdom, spirituality and mythology.
