Synopsis
The Viking Age in Europe lasted from the time of the first major Viking expeditions in 800 CE to the widespread adoption of Christianity in Scandinavia some 300 years later. During that time, Viking art and culture spread across continental Europe and into the world beyond. Written by a leading authority on the subject, this book introduces readers to the intricate objects and beautiful art styles that developed during the Viking Age. Beginning with an introduction to the geographical and historical background of Viking culture, author James Graham-Campbell chronicles the six main styles of Viking art, examining how they emerged and interacted with one another, as well as how the religious shift from paganism to Christianity impacted Viking art and its legacy. More than 200 high-quality illustrations depict everything from delicate metalwork, elaborate wood carvings, ornate weapons, and fine jewelry to grand ships, the Gotland picture stones, and archaeological traces left by the Vikings around the Western world. Now revised and updated with recent archaeological discoveries, Viking Art is a perfect guide--including a timeline and maps--for all those interested in the arts of this vibrant and fascinating culture., Updated to reflect recent archaeological discoveries and overflowing with color illustrations, this book is the definitive introduction to the art of the Viking Age., The product of a lifetime of study by a leading authority, Viking Art covers all the intricate and beautiful art styles of the Viking age. It ranges in time from the first major Viking expeditions overseas around AD 800 to the general establishment of Christianity in Scandinavia some 300 years later. Following an introduction to the geographical and historical background of Viking culture, thematic chapters illustrate the six main Viking art styles and show how they emerged from and interacted with one another, highlighting delicate metalwork, elaborate wood carvings and the famous Gotland picture stones. Viking art ranges in scale from the Oseberg ship to decorated weapons and finely crafted jewelry, all featured here, alongside architecture and archaeological traces left by Vikings across continental Europe and beyond. The final chapter examines Viking art in relation to pagan mythology, the conversion to Christianity, and the Viking influence on later artistic movements. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, this volume is a modern classic that serves as a definitive guide for all those interested in the vibrant artistic culture of this fascinating period in European history. Book jacket., A definitive guide to Viking art by a world expert on the subject This new survey covers all the intricate and beautiful art styles of the so-called "Viking Age." It ranges in time from the first major Viking expeditions overseas around AD 800 to the establishment of Christianity in Scandinavia some three hundred years later. An opening chapter gives the historical and geographic background. Thematic chapters then describe and discuss the six main Viking art styles, showing how they emerged from and interacted with one another. Delicate metalwork is contrasted with elaborate wood carvings and the famous Gotland "picture stones," and we move up in scale from the Oseberg ship to decorated weapons and fine jewels. The book's conclusion looks at the art in relation to Viking mythology and sagas as well as its legacy in later times.
