Description

Explore the dark and visceral history of visual culture in this scholarly work by Routledge. Death, Torture and the Broken Body in European Art, 1300-1650 examines how the late Middle Ages and early modern period captured scenes of extreme violence through paintings, prints, and small sculptures. This volume looks at how artists depicted mangled bodies, broken limbs, and flayed skin to convey deep cultural meanings. Readers will find a detailed study of how torture scenes often mirrored Christ's Passion. The book also analyzes the martyrdom of saints, the depiction of justice being served to the wicked, and broadsheet reports of war atrocities. Instead of viewing these scenes as mere passing fancies, the contributors interpret the desecration of the human form as a significant element of early modern visual culture. This text is an essential resource for those studying art history, human figures, and the representation of suffering in European history.
