Anglo‐Saxon Art and Architecture
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Anglo‐Saxon art and architecture comprises the works produced by the Anglo‐Saxon or Germanic peoples in Britain from the 6th and 7th centuries to the Norman Conquest of 1066. These groups had settled in England after the Roman occupation. Anglo‐Saxon art and architecture is distinctly Christian, yet adapts the characteristics of the tribes' pagan art with its focus upon design, color, and interlacing patterns. This art form quickly declined after the Norman Conquest, when Romanesque art and architecture became the norm. The golden age of Anglo‐Saxon art occurred between the 9th and the 11th centuries and was concentrated in the south. Winchester was the key center.
