Description

Explore the deep connections between parody and festivity in early modern art with this collection of essays from Routledge.

This book covers a wide range of topics that extend beyond high art to include low-brow and ephemeral subjects. Readers will find analysis on the grotesque, grobianism, and scatology. The text also looks at how popular proverbs with ironic twists contributed to the visual culture of the time. It is an essential resource for those interested in the social meanings behind laughter and the diverse ways comedy was expressed in early modern visual history.
