  Irish art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The early history of Irish visual art is generally considered to begin with early carvings found at sites such as Newgrange and is traced through Bronze Age artefacts, particularly ornamental gold objects, and the religious carvings and illuminated manuscripts of the medieval period.
Support for young Irish artists is still relatively minor compared to their European counterparts, as the Arts Council's focus has been on improving infrastructure and professionalism in venues.
In the 7th and 8th centuries Irish art mixed with Germanic traditions through Irish missionary contacts with the Anglo-Saxons, creating what is called the Hiberno-Saxon style and such masterpieces as the Book of Kells and Ardagh Chalice.

 The Wild Geese Today -- Bataireacht: The Art of Irish Stick-Fighting
The various arts of Irish stick-fighting reached their zenith in the first half of the 19th century, when Irish gangs were beginning to dominate New York's streets.
In time, An Gorta Mor (The Irish Famine), the influence of the Catholic Church, and the rise of Fenianism (militant Irish republicanism) put an end to large-scale Faction Fighting, as more and more of the agrarian faction groups united and were absorbed into the Fenian organization in the latter half of the 19th century.
Perhaps more remarkably, the Irish art of stick-fighting (Bataireacht in Irish) continues to this day in a style passed through generations of a branch of the Doyle family of Newfoundland, Canada.
