Customer Reviews

fascinating, impossible to put down

I've never read or heard someone try to explain in words Irish knotwork and the dizzyingly intricate details of the illuminations in the Book of Kells, but this book does an exquisite job. even explaining tedious details like difficult bronze working techniques are discussed in such a vivid and extraordinary way. some of the historical details are a bit out of date as this was published nearly 50 years ago, but A.T. Lucas clearly has an eye for art
