Celtic Art
Celtic Art, the art of the ancient Celts, emerged as an identifiable tradition in about 600 BC and flourished until the mid-1st century AD, when the expansion of the Roman Empire and the Roman conquest of the Celts of Britain, Gaul, and Germany largely extinguished Celtic culture. Celtic art has used a variety of styles and has shown influences from other cultures in their knot work, spirals, key patterns, lettering, zoomorphics, plant forms and human figures.
