Description

Explore the connection between fear and faith in the early modern era. This work examines how European consciousness reacted to the constant threat of plague and epidemics between 1300 and 1700. During times of high anxiety, images of saints and religious protectors provided reassurance to the faithful against infection. The book analyzes how new modes of visual engagement and devotional subject matter worked together to increase the emotional impact of art. It investigates a visual language of mystical devotion that sought to overcome the physical limits of the body and reaffirm the reality of the afterlife through material and visual culture.
