The manuscript was produced on Lindisfarne in Northumbria in the late 7th century or early 8th century, and is generally regarded as the finest example of the kingdom's unique style of religious art, a style that combined Anglo-Saxon and Celtic themes, what is now called Hiberno-Saxon art, or Insular art.[1] The manuscript is complete (though lacking its original cover), and is astonishingly well-preserved considering its great age.http://www.fathom.com/course/33702501/index.htmlThe Lindisfarne Gospels is one of the world's masterpieces of manuscript painting. It is, says British Library curator Michelle P. Brown, "one of those landmarks of human achievement which transcends the local, and even the national, making it a great international focus of that wonderful period of transition from the world of Greco-Roman antiquity into the Middle Ages."
The Lindisfarne Gospels represent Insular art, a style that emerged in the British Isles during the early medieval period. This artwork combines elements of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Christian artistic traditions, characterized by intricate designs, vivid colors, and elaborate illuminations. The Gospels are notable for their ornate initial letters, decorative motifs, and iconography, reflecting the fusion of religious and cultural influences in the post-Roman British Isles.
