This book explores images whose sexual content has all too often
been either ignored or denied. Each chapter is devoted to a place
that artists associated with sexual activity or desire: the bed,
the dressing area of the home, the window and doorway, the bath,
and the street. By examining both canonical works, such as Jan van
Eyck's "Arnolfini Portrait "and Petrus Christus' "Goldsmith's Shop"
and long-neglected objects, such as combs, badges, and bathhouse
murals, and by investigating a wide range of sexualities--same-sex
desire, adultery, marriage, courtship, and prostitution--Wolfthal
demonstrates how illicit forms of sexuality were linked to the
"chaste sexuality" of marriage.
