horror vacui
In visual art, horror vacui (; from Latin "fear of empty space"), also kenophobia, from Greek "fear of the empty"),〔Lesley Brown: ''The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary''. Vol. 1: A−M. Clarendon Press, Oxford 1993, p.360〕 is the filling of the entire surface of a space or an artwork with detail.
==Origins==
The term is associated with the Italian art critic and scholar Mario Praz, who used it to describe the suffocating atmosphere and clutter of interior design in the Victorian age. Older, and more artistically esteemed examples can be seen on Migration period art objects like the carpet pages of Insular illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells. This feeling of meticulously filling empty spaces also permeates Arabesque Islamic art from ancient times to the present. Another example comes from ancient Greece during the Geometric Age (1100 - 900 BCE), when horror vacui was considered a stylistic element of all art. The mature work of the French Renaissance engraver Jean Duvet consistently exhibits horror vacui.
