Reichenau painting school
The term Reichenau School of Painting or Reichenau School summarizes the works of "Reichenau book painting " of the 10th and 11th centuries by different artists .
It is a group of around 40, predominantly liturgical, magnificent manuscripts, which are counted among the high points of art in the 10th and 11th centuries. Due to style-critical arguments, one suspects a common origin on the monastery island Reichenau in Lake Constance. The paleographic features, however, refer to the scriptoria of Trier , Cologne and Seeon . As foundations by secular and spiritual princes, they came to churches throughout the Ottonian and Salian empires, where they were only used on special occasions due to their precious design.
Part of today preserved in libraries across Europe codices belongs since 2003 to UNESCO - World Soundtrack Awards .
