Visual arts produced under the Merovingian dynasty of the 5th–8th centuries AD.
They consisted mainly of small-scale metalwork, little of which has survived, and several important manuscripts. The style blends Roman Classical style with native Germanic-Frankish traditions, which favoured abstraction and geometric patterning. The human figure was rarely attempted; artists were concerned primarily with surface design. Though modest, Merovingian art was influential long after the end of the dynasty.
