Studies on gender and sexuality have proliferated in the last
decades, covering a wide spectrum of disciplines. This collection
of essays offers a metanarrative of sexuality as it has been
recently embedded in the art historical discourse of the European
Renaissance. It revisits 'canonical' forms of visual culture, such
as painting, sculpture and a number of emblematic manuscripts. The
contributors focus on one image-either actual or thematic-and
examine it against its historiographic assumptions. Through the use
of interdisciplinary approaches, the essays propose to unmask the
ideology(ies) of representation of sexuality and suggest a richer
image of the ever-shifting identities of gender. The collection
focuses on the Italian Renaissance, but also includes case studies
from Germany and France.
