Baroque depictions of violence are often dismissed as 'over the
top' and 'excessive'. Their material richness and exciting visual
complexity, together with the visceral engagement they demand from
beholders, are usually explained in literature as reflecting the
presumed violence of early modern society. This book explores the
intersection between materiality, excess, and violence in
seventeenth-century paintings through a close analysis of some of
the most iconic works of the period. Baroque paintings expose or
reference their materiality by insisting on various physical
changes wrought through violence. This study approaches violence as
the work of materiality, which has the potential to analogously
stage pictorial surfaces as corporeal surfaces, where paint becomes
flayed flesh, canvas threads ruptured skin, and red paint spilt
blood.
