Hidden Symbolism in Medieval Art ~ Illuminated Manuscripts, Art Video Essay

Hi Guys! This video is all about the history of illuminated manuscripts from medieval England. In this art video essay we will go through the history and the art & design of book illumination throughout the middle ages focusing on Britain (the british isles) - we will touch on the Irish book of Kells from the dark ages , go through the viking invasions this (predominantly) Christian art form had to survive made by the monks of Winchester, Canterbury and the likes - we will mention the Winchester bible & the Romanesque Stylistic marks, the Winchester benedictional (also knows as the benedictional of St Aethelwold) with its carolingian art origins, and the Queen Mary Psalter from the gothic era. We will analyse the symbolism of Romanesque art characteristics, Gothic art styles and many more.
I truly believe these religious illustrations, the art of the middle ages are the precursors of not just what we call book design today but they also laid down the fundamentals of graphic design and illustration as we know it today as well! Hope you will find the video entertaining and educational, bookworms, history buffs and designers alike.
