Over the past fifty years, Françoise Henry has been the leading
authority on the history of early Irish art. A pupil of Henri
Focillon, she united two traditions of scholarship, one French and
one Irish, and her understanding of the European context within
which the art of early Christian Ireland developed has had a
profound influence on subsequent research. These three volumes
bring together the articles that Dr. Henry published on Irish art
and its European links. The first volume is concerned with enamel
and metalwork, a field in which the author specialized from the
beginning. Émailleurs d'Occident looks at Western enamels, among
which the Irish examples figure prominently, and the development of
Irish enamelling is treated separately in the following study.
Metalwork is also featured, in the form of a number of Dr. Henry's
important studies on hanging-bowls, croziers, and chalices. Volume
I contents include: Preface by C. Curle; Enamels; Émailleurs
d'Occident; Irish Enamels of the Dark Ages and their Relation to
the Cloisonné Techniques; Hanging Bowls, with Supplement; A Bronze
Escutcheon Found in the River Bann; On Some Early Christian Objects
in the Ulster Museum; Deux objets de bronze irlandais au Musée des
Antiquités Nationales; Le calice trouvé a Derrynaflan; Les
crosses pre-romanes; The Effects of the Viking Invasion on Irish
Art; Additional Notes; Index.
