The development of a common style of Insular art across Great Britain and Ireland influenced elaborate jewellery and illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells. Only isolated examples survive of native artwork from the late Middle Ages and of works created or strongly influenced by artists of Flemish origin. The influence of the Renaissance can be seen in stone carving and painting from the fifteenth century.
A shared aesthetic style among Insular art across Great Britain and Ireland resulted in luxurious jewellery and intricately designed manuscripts like the Book of Kells. Unfortunately, only a few isolated examples have survived from native medieval artwork, as well as pieces created or significantly influenced by Flemish artists. The influence of the Renaissance is evident in the stone carvings and paintings from the 15th century.
