Descripción
Refers to the style that developed in the British Isles after the relaxation of imperial Roman authority, generally from the fifth century CE. The style is seen in sculpture, metalwork, and other arts, notably in ornamental manuscript illumination that developed in monastic centers in relatively inaccessible sites. The style continued until the 13th century, and also influenced styles on continental Europe. For the scripts developed in this period, see "Insular scripts."
