Beskrivning
Picturing Death: 1200–1600 explores the visual culture of mortality over the course of four centuries that witnessed a remarkable flourishing of imagery focused on the themes of death, dying, and the afterlife. In doing so, this volume sheds light on issues that unite two periods—the Middle Ages and the Renaissance—that are often understood as diametrically opposed. The studies collected here cover a broad visual terrain, from tomb sculpture to painted altarpieces, from manuscripts to printed books, and from minute carved objects to large-scale architecture. Taken together, they present a picture of the ways that images have helped humans understand their own mortality, and have incorporated the deceased into the communities of the living.Contributors: Jessica Barker, Katherine Boivin, Peter Bovenmyer, Xavier Dectot, Maja Dujakovic, Brigit Ferguson, Alison C. Fleming, Fredrika Jacobs, Henrike C. Lange, Robert Marcoux, Walter S. Melion, Stephen Perkinson, Johanna Scheel, Mary Silcox, Judith Steinhoff, and Noa Turel.

Recensioner i media

"The relative brevity of the essays makes them straightforward and easy to read, and thus of value to students (including graduates and advanced undergraduates) as well as specialists of the related fields. While interesting and useful on their own, the essays are best read in dialogue with one another; together, their insights shape a richer understanding of the broad cultural milieu." - Catherine O’Reilly, Boston University, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 77, No. 1 (Spring 2024), pp. 266–267
