Celtic art is a distinctive style of art that emerged from the Celtic people during the Iron Age and has survived in various forms until the present day. The Celts were a tribe of people who were spread across Europe, and their art was characterised by intricate patterns, spirals, knots and interlacing designs.

The art of the Celts was truly unique, with intricate patterns and designs that reflected the natural world. The artwork was often connected to spirituality, with many of the designs symbolising life, death, rebirth and the human spirit.

The Celtic people were skilled metalworkers, and they created an abundance of impressive works of art, ranging from the famous Celtic knotwork to exquisite jewellery, weaponry and even chariots. Their skills continued to develop and evolve over time, with later works incorporating Roman and Christian influences.

The first examples of Celtic art date back to the 5th century BC. From the Bronze Age, the typical Celtic designs incorporated into their weapons and ornaments gradually developed into an indigenous, flowing and dynamic style that was fully distinctive. This is reflected in their jewellery, ornamental stone carvings and illuminated manuscripts (the Book of Kells being a prime example).

The use of interconnected knots, lines, spirals and zoomorphic designs, such as those found in La Tène art, easily identify the artwork as Celtic. This style was prominent in Ireland, where the Celtic art was highly influenced by Christianity and incorporated the means of illustrating Christian texts in intricate detail.

the artwork of the Celts is a testament to the creativity and artistic talent of their people. Their innovations inspired later artistic movements, as well as modern designs and patterns, providing inspiration for many craftsmen and artists even today.
