The Ringerike style is a Viking art style from Scandinavia that was widespread from the beginning to the second half of the 11th century and is named after the Norwegian landscape Ringerike.
The Ringerike style developed from the Mammen style in the early 11th century, with influences from Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon illumination gaining weight in Viking art.
The Ringerike style continued to use the motifs already common in the Mammen style, such as the lion (Great Beast), bird and snake, but tighter, clearer contours and a more naturalistic depiction dominated.
