IELTS Tapescript
During the 3rd century BC, an art style appeared in Ireland that had been developed centuries earlier by Celtic peoples in central Europe. It is known as the La Téne style, after the site in Switzerland where objects decorated in the style were found. The style was influenced heavily by vegetable and floral designs of classical art of the Mediterranean world. However, unlike classical designs which were naturalistic, La Téne Art developed a more abstract version that showed a particular preference for the use of curved lines. These were used in designs that were often laid out using a compass.In Ireland, La Téne ornament continued to be an important component of the Christian art of the early medieval period, used to decorate fine metalwork, stonework and manuscripts.
