Summary:	Rhapsody of Northern Art' presents fascinating artefacts produced between the late Bronze Age and the start of the Romanesque Period. Ancient objects from Northern Europe, exhibited in museums, are usually appreciated as documenting the past and reflecting its society. The people viewing these objects are able to become aware of skills and techniques that were applied many generations ago.However, a number of such objects should certainly be regarded more as works of fine art. Since the early 20th century, artists such as Duchamp have created "object art" and installations from contemporary artists often show art of a quality similar to that of some ancient Central and Northern European cultures. This book will serve to help and encourage readers to see and appreciate Bronze Age and early Medieval artefacts of Central and Northern Europe in the way they do works of art created by internationally well-known contemporary artists.
