Description

This scholarly volume examines how late medieval and early modern European artists depicted violence, suffering, and bodily destruction across paintings, prints, and sculptures. Featuring contributions from leading academics, the book explores the artistic representation of torture, martyrdom, and the desecration of the human form during a pivotal period of European cultural history. Rather than treating these disturbing scenes as mere artistic curiosities, the authors analyse how depictions of Christ's Passion, saints' martyrdoms, scenes of justice, and wartime atrocities functioned within their historical and religious contexts. This comprehensive study reveals how artists used the broken and mutilated body as a vehicle for exploring theological questions, moral instruction, and the profound anxieties of the period, making it essential for scholars of art history, religious studies, and European cultural development.

Key Features

The book covers European art from 1300 to 1650, spanning the late Middle Ages and early modern period with detailed visual analysis.

Multiple contributors provide diverse scholarly perspectives on torture depictions, martyrdoms, and scenes of bodily violence in art.

Examines how religious narratives including Christ's Passion and saints' martyrdoms shaped artistic representations of suffering and death.

Explores the connection between broadsheet reports of war atrocities and their visual representation in contemporary European art.

Part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series, offering theoretical frameworks for understanding how societies represented violence and pain.
