He asks you, “Didn’t my ancestors in Great Britain and Ireland make any art during these periods?” You tell him that they produced art that generally shows the intersection of Germanic art with Celtic art.

Answer 1

I would suggest Pavel study Insular art. This style emerged in the British Isles and is characterized by its unique blend of Celtic and Germanic artistic traditions, particularly during the early Medieval period. Insular art includes illuminated manuscripts, metalwork, and stone carvings, and offers a rich insight into the cultural intersections of the time.
