The Spanish Baroque artist and printmaker, Jusepe de Ribera
(1591-1652), has long been celebrated for his depictions of human
suffering--faces contorted in pain, mutilated bodies, sagging
flesh, and deformed bodies. This new volume explores, for the first
time, the theme of violence in Ribera's work to demonstrate how his
images are neither the product of his supposed sadism nor the
expression of a purely aesthetic interest, but rather involve a
complex artistic, religious and cultural engagement in the
depiction of bodily suffering, challenging visitors to look beyond
the shocking imagery. Born in Jativa, Valencia, Ribera spent most
of his career in Naples, southern Italy, where he influenced many
Neapolitan masters including Salvator Rosa and Luca Giordano. He is
often regarded as the heir to Caravaggio for his dramatic use of
light and shadow, and his practice of painting directly from the
live model. His prints and paintings alike had an enormous impact
on the development of Baroque art all over Europe.
