 | Celtic Design by Aidan Meehan
At the end of the eighth century, the Vikings began to plunder the Celtic monasteries, putting an end to the golden age of Celtic art in the Early Christian period. In spite of the invaders' love of looting, fire and the sword, their impact was not simply destructive. In a second golden age that flourished into the high Middle Ages, Irish Dragon and Griffin patterns were wrought in Viking styles, producing a marvelous and distinctive art akin to Art Nouveau and Gothic fantasy. The author shows how these patterns are formed and gives detailed practical advice on how they can be recreated and adapted by today's artists and designers, or by anyone wishing to enjoy the sheer decorative exuberance of these once fearsome beasts.

 | Michelangelo by Anthony Hughes
A rebellious youth who chose a career as an artist against his father's wishes, Michelangelo (1475-1564) went on to be recognized as one of the outstanding talents of his age. Such was the degree of fame and wealth he acquired that he became a legend within his own lifetime. In the centuries since his death his work has been almost universally admired, and he has been cast as the prototype for artistic genius. In this stimulating introduction to the artist's life and work, Anthony Hughes employs the latest evidence from research and restoration projects to take a fresh look at who Michelangelo was and what he has become. Setting Michelangelo firmly within the political and social world he inhabited, Hughes interprets his work not only as the expression of an individual sensibility but also as the results of often difficult transactions between artist and clients. He gives an enjoyable and historically informed account of the full range of Michelangelo's creative endeavours, in the process exploring the artist's relations with family and friends, his sexuality and his position in the sixteenth-century world.
