Visigothic Art

Visigothic Art refers to the artistic and cultural expressions of the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe that ruled parts of Spain and France from the 5th to the 8th centuries. This style is characterized by a blend of Roman, Christian, and local influences, featuring intricate metalwork, illuminated manuscripts, and stone carvings. Visigothic architecture often includes simple basilicas and fortifications.
