Their work represents an innovative phase of discovery and scholarship in the historiography of Irish Art that formulated the value of Irish art as a precursor to European Romanesque art. Connections can be made between Porter and Henry as scholars of Irish Medieval art who were both keen to explore the identity and iconography of the High Crosses and question the level of awareness of secular mythology in terms of Irish Identity. Their new theoretical approaches and methodologies to writing about the past demonstrate their key roles in the development of the study of Irish Medieval Art History. |
