Ringerike style
Definition
- Style of 11th c. Scandinavian art; term is derived from the geological name for the sandstone beds around Oslo, Norway, which were apparently the source of stone for many carvings in this style, though the stone was often carved elsewhere; probably developed in Danish centers and spread broadly in Scandinavia, England and Ireland; continues to employ the earlier Mammen [q.v.] animal motifs, with innovations influenced by Anglo-Saxon and Ottonian ornament; often characterized by plant motifs with stems arranged in strict axiality and intertwining tendrils, and by compositional schemes that are asymmetrical and have an additive character [AAT, alt.]
