On this page, all lovers of medieval art can find a large number of ornaments created on European territories during the Middle Ages.
By medieval art we mean the period in Western art between the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and the discovery of America in 1492. Medieval art includes numerous styles, the most important being arly Christian art, Migration Period art, Byzantine art, Insular art, Pre-Romanesque, Romanesque art, and Gothic art. These styles have been often adapted both by various peoples in Europe and under external influences such as the influence of Islamic art. Medieval art also includes the art developed by individual nations or regions in Europe during the process of becoming nations or cultures. Fortunately, there are a number of objects and buildings from this period that have survived to this day so that we can admire their beauty and reuse their ornaments to decorate objects.
All the given medieval ornaments have been drawn by hand (not automatically traced in vector software) based on images from old books that covered medieval art and architecture, or from photographs of medieval buildings, artifacts, documents ... To draw these ornaments, we used 3D CAD software Rhinoceros and free vector software Inkscape.
