| |  | | | From The Publisher
In the decade since it was first published, Celtic Art has established itself as the definitive introduction to a vast field of European artistic endeavor. The authors discuss the origin and identity of the Celts and introduce us to the study of their elusive, shape-changing, non-narrative art, investigating its antecedents, its styles and motifs, and its relationship to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. Included in this new edition are surveys of recent discoveries throughout Europe, finds that have entailed a shift in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the development of Celtic art. With a wealth of illustrations (many new to this edition), location maps for each period and an up-to-date bibliography, Celtic Art will remain the standard work for many years to come.
