Description
Rescheduled date is Tuesday, October 31. Two thousand years ago, the Celts living in all of Europe produced glorious art. They adorned themselves with finely wrought gold. They created exquisite designs on cauldrons, coins, shields, and mirrors. They carved in stone and decorated the equipment of their beloved horses. By 800 CE, they combined writing with art in the treasures called illustrated manuscripts, such as the famous Book of Kells. Sutton explores what inspired these Celts.
