The Ringerike style includes foliage ornaments and interlacing. The style is namedafter the district in Norway where examples of Ringerike exist in local sandstone. The
Ringerike style can also be seen in English manuscripts, and there are also some carvingsinivorywhich are done in this style. The Urnes style is named after the detailed designs on thecarved doors ofUrnes Stave Churchin theSognefjord.The style has influencedEnglishChristian art.[1]

Ship Museum,Bygdy.The head of the ship represents a roaring beast with surfaceornamentation in the form of interwoven animals that twist and turn as they are gripping andsnapping.[2]
During the 11th century many Scandinavians became Christian. However, their abstract artpersisted. The decoration of the wooden portal of the stave church located in Urnes, Norway isabstractly made up of animal forms that tightly intertwine with flexible plant stalks following a
spiral rhythm. This is one of the few remains left from this time which were later incorporated inthe walls of a 12th-century church.
During this time while the abstract and animal motifs were spreading in art, the northernEurope Christian missionaries were building monasteries and sponsoring art with Christiancontent which was very different from art created before.[2]

During the 11th century many Scandinavians became Christian. However, their abstract artpersisted. The decoration of the wooden portal of the stave church located in Urnes, Norway isabstractly made up of animal forms that tightly intertwine with flexible plant stalks following aspiral rhythm. This is one of the few remains left from this time which were later incorporated inthe walls of a 12th-century church.
During this time while the abstract and animal motifs were spreading in art, the northern
Europe Christian missionaries were building monasteries and sponsoring art with Christiancontent which was very different from art created before.[2]

Viking age[edit]Main article:Viking Age art
Viking Age art is a term for the art ofScandinaviaandVikingsettlements elsewhere, especiallyin theBritish Isles,during theViking Age.It has many elements in common withCelticart,Romanesque artand East-European (Eurasian). TheVikingswere active in the Nordiccountries between the lateEarly Middle Agesand the early portion of theHigh Middle Ages.There are three main artistic styles from that period:Jelling style,Ringerike style,andUrnesstyle.Jelling is named after a Danish royal grave inJutlandand usually involves heavy animaldesigns. The Ringerike style includes foliage ornaments and interlacing. The style is namedafter the district in Norway where examples of Ringerike exist in local sandstone. TheRingerike style can also be seen in English manuscripts, and there are also some carvingsinivorywhich are done in this style. The Urnes style is named after the detailed designs on thecarved doors ofUrnes Stave Churchin theSognefjord.The style has influencedEnglishChristian art.[1]
The main symbol of the Viking Age is theViking ship.Not only was it used as a war andtradevessel,it demonstrated true individual design and art. An example of this comes from aship burial in Norway, near the sea atOseberg.Over 70 feet long, it held the remains of twowomen and many precious objects that were probably removed by robbers early beforediscovery. The head is 5 inches high and dates back to 834. It is currently located at theVikingShip Museum,Bygdy.The head of the ship represents a roaring beast with surfaceornamentation in the form of interwoven animals that twist and turn as they are gripping andsnapping.[2]

During the 11th century many Scandinavians became Christian. However, their abstract artpersisted. The decoration of the wooden portal of the stave church located in Urnes, Norway isabstractly made up of animal forms that tightly intertwine with flexible plant stalks following aspiral rhythm. This is one of the few remains left from this time which were later incorporated inthe walls of a 12th-century church.
During this time while the abstract and animal motifs were spreading in art, the northern
Europe Christian missionaries were building monasteries and sponsoring art with Christiancontent which was very different from art created before.[2]

Viking age[edit]Main article:Viking Age art
Viking Age art is a term for the art ofScandinaviaandVikingsettlements elsewhere, especiallyin theBritish Isles,during theViking Age.It has many elements in common withCelticart,Romanesque artand East-European (Eurasian). TheVikingswere active in the Nordiccountries between the lateEarly Middle Agesand the early portion of theHigh Middle Ages.There are three main artistic styles from that period:Jelling style,Ringerike style,andUrnesstyle.Jelling is named after a Danish royal grave inJutlandand usually involves heavy animaldesigns. The Ringerike style includes foliage ornaments and interlacing. The style is namedafter the district in Norway where examples of Ringerike exist in local sandstone. TheRingerike style can also be seen in English manuscripts, and there are also some carvingsinivorywhich are done in this style. The Urnes style is named after the detailed designs on thecarved doors ofUrnes Stave Churchin theSognefjord.The style has influencedEnglishChristian art.[1]
The main symbol of the Viking Age is theViking ship.Not only was it used as a war andtradevessel,it demonstrated true individual design and art. An example of this comes from aship burial in Norway, near the sea atOseberg.Over 70 feet long, it held the remains of twowomen and many precious objects that were probably removed by robbers early beforediscovery. The head is 5 inches high and dates back to 834. It is currently located at theVikingShip Museum,Bygdy.The head of the ship represents a roaring beast with surfaceornamentation in the form of interwoven animals that twist and turn as they are gripping andsnapping.[2]

During the 11th century many Scandinavians became Christian. However, their abstract artpersisted. The decoration of the wooden portal of the stave church located in Urnes, Norway isabstractly made up of animal forms that tightly intertwine with flexible plant stalks following aspiral rhythm. This is one of the few remains left from this time which were later incorporated inthe walls of a 12th-century church.
During this time while the abstract and animal motifs were spreading in art, the northern
Europe Christian missionaries were building monasteries and sponsoring art with Christiancontent which was very different from art created before.[2]

Viking age[edit]Main article:Viking Age art
Viking Age art is a term for the art ofScandinaviaandVikingsettlements elsewhere, especiallyin theBritish Isles,during theViking Age.It has many elements in common withCelticart,Romanesque artand East-European (Eurasian). TheVikingswere active in the Nordiccountries between the lateEarly Middle Agesand the early portion of theHigh Middle Ages.There are three main artistic styles from that period:Jelling style,Ringerike style,andUrnesstyle.Jelling is named after a Danish royal grave inJutlandand usually involves heavy animaldesigns. The Ringerike style includes foliage ornaments and interlacing. The style is namedafter the district in Norway where examples of Ringerike exist in local sandstone. TheRingerike style can also be seen in English manuscripts, and there are also some carvingsinivorywhich are done in this style. The Urnes style is named after the detailed designs on thecarved doors ofUrnes Stave Churchin theSognefjord.The style has influencedEnglishChristian art.[1]
The main symbol of the Viking Age is theViking ship.Not only was it used as a war andtradevessel,it demonstrated true individual design and art. An example of this comes from aship burial in Norway, near the sea atOseberg.Over 70 feet long, it held the remains of twowomen and many precious objects that were probably removed by robbers early beforediscovery. The head is 5 inches high and dates back to 834. It is currently located at theVikingShip Museum,Bygdy.The head of the ship represents a roaring beast with surfaceornamentation in the form of interwoven animals that twist and turn as they are gripping andsnapping.[2]
