Although the Romanesque period in Ireland covered less than two centuries, it yielded an extraordinary wealth of art of all kinds. In this third and final volume of her series, Françoise Henry once again demonstrates her prodigious knowledge and special insights as she discusses Irish art of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Illuminated manuscripts, metal objects, carved stone crosses, and churches are her principal topics. She notes the appearance of new decorative styles combining native ornament with borrowed elements. The Norman invasion of 1169-1170, she declares, virtually ended the development of truly native Irish art
