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. The art reflects the transition from the Roman Empire to medieval Europe, showcasing a distinct identity through its use of geometric designs, symbolic motifs, and an emphasis on craftsmanship.
