Merovingian illumination is the term for the continental Frankish style of illumination in the late seventh and eight centuries, named for the Merovingian dynasty. Ornamental in form, the style consists of initials constructed from lines and circles based on Late Antique illumination, title pages with arcades and crucifixes. Figural images were almost totally absent. From the eight century, zoomorphic decoration began to appear and become so dominant that in some manuscripts from Chelles whole pages are made up of letters formed from animals. Unlike the contemporary Insular illumination with its rampant decoration, the Merovingian style aims for a clean page.

rdfs:comment	L'enluminure mérovingienne désigne l'ensemble des manuscrits décorés pendant la période des rois mérovingiens, entre le VIe siècle et la fin du VIIIe siècle, dans l'espace des Royaumes francs. L'héritage culturel de l'époque mérovingienne, qui précède et préfigure dans une certaine mesure la renaissance carolingienne, est en particulier à noter dans le domaine des manuscrits peints. Différents ateliers, à Laon, à Luxeuil ou à Corbie notamment, réalisent des manuscrits luxueux présentant d'évidentes similitudes de style (motifs orientaux et coptes, éléments géométriques ou zoomorphes). Ceci permet de parler de l'enluminure mérovingienne comme d'un ensemble artistique cohérent, certains historiens de l'art allant jusqu'à parler d'une véritable « école mérovingienne ». (fr) Die kontinentale, fränkische Illustrationskunst der zweiten Hälfte des siebten und des achten Jahrhunderts wird als merowingische Buchmalerei bezeichnet. Ornamental gestaltete, an die Buchmalerei der Spätantike anknüpfende Initialen, die mit Lineal und Zirkel konstruiert wurden, und Titelbilder mit Arkaden sowie eingestelltem Kreuz sind fast die einzige Illustrationsform, figürliche Darstellungen fehlen beinahe völlig. Seit dem achten Jahrhundert treten zunehmend zoomorphe Ornamente auf, die so dominant werden, dass etwa in Handschriften aus dem Frauenkloster Chelles ganze Zeilen ausschließlich aus Buchstaben bestehen, die aus Tieren gebildet sind. Im Gegensatz zur zeitgleichen insularen Buchmalerei mit dessen wuchernder Ornamentik strebte die merowingische nach einer klaren Ordnung des Bl (de) Merovingian illumination is the term for the continental Frankish style of illumination in the late seventh and eight centuries, named for the Merovingian dynasty.

Regnum Francorum) dalla fine del VII secolo all'VIII secolo, al tempo della dinastia merovingia. Di forma prettamente ornamentale, questa miniatura è caratterizzata da capolettera di solida costruzione geometrica, con linee e cerchi che richiamato il modello tardoantico, e frontespizio con arcate e crocifissi. Le immagini figurative erano quasi del tutto assenti. A partire dal 700 la decorazione zoomorfa iniziò ad apparire e a diventare così dominante che in alcuni manoscritti dell'Abbazia di Chelles intere pagine sono composte da lettere formate da animali. A differenza della contemporanea miniatura insulare, caratterizzata da una decorazione rampante e a tratti invasiva, lo stile merovingio mirava ad una pagina pulita (it)
