Visualizing Sensuous Suffering and Affective Pain in Early Modern
Europe and the Spanish Americas is a trans-cultural collection of
studies on visual treatments of the phenomena of suffering and pain
in early modern culture. Ranging geographically from Italy, Spain,
and the Low Countries to Chile, Mexico, and the Philippines and
chronologically from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries,
these studies variously consider pain and suffering as somatic,
emotional, and psychological experiences. From examination of
bodies shown victimized by brutal public torture to the sublimation
of physical suffering conveyed through the incised lines of
Counter-Reformation engravings, the authors consider depictions of
pain and suffering as conduits to the divine or as guides to social
behaviour; indeed, often the two functions overlap.
