Description

Explore the complex relationship between art and geography in Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents. This scholarly work, part of the Intersections series (73), examines how early modern European artists used the human form to represent the world. By visualizing continents through female and sometimes male bodies, these artists expressed specific perceptions of newly encountered peoples. While these artistic personifications often rely on stereotypes, this book looks beyond the surface to reveal a more nuanced layer of meaning. It provides a deep look at how visual culture shaped the understanding of global territories and populations during the early modern period. This is an essential resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of art, cartography, and the visual representation of culture.
