Carolingian art comes from the Frankish Empire in the period of roughly 120 years from about 780 to 900 - during the reign of Charlemagne and his immediate heirs - popularly known as the Carolingian Renaissance. The art was produced by and for the court circle and a group of important monasteries under Imperial patronage. In the Late Carolingian period the most important centres of manuscript production were the court schools of Charles the Bald (823-877) in Reims and Saint-Denis.
