Extract

In Prof. J. Strzygowski's recent work in English on the Origin of Christian Church Art, there is a chapter on Hiberno-Saxon art in the time of Bede (673–735); with the following striking passage: ‘Whether I turn to the remains of Anglo-Saxon churches, to the crosses, or to the manuscripts of the time of Bede, I feel in the presence of an art which differs from every other art in the world. Above all, I feel that we have here no mere pale reflection of Roman or Byzantine art’. (p. 233).
