Picturing Death: 1200-1600 explores the visual culture of mortality
over the course of four centuries that witnessed a remarkable
flourishing of imagery focused on the themes of death, dying, and
the afterlife. In doing so, this volume sheds light on issues that
unite two periods-the Middle Ages and the Renaissance-that are
often understood as diametrically opposed. The studies collected
here cover a broad visual terrain, from tomb sculpture to painted
altarpieces, from manuscripts to printed books, and from minute
carved objects to large-scale architecture. Taken together, they
present a picture of the ways that images have helped humans
understand their own mortality, and have incorporated the deceased
into the communities of the living. Contributors: Jessica Barker,
Katherine Boivin, Peter Bovenmyer, Xavier Dectot, Maja Dujakovic,
Brigit Ferguson, Alison C. Fleming, Fredrika Jacobs, Henrike C.
Lange, Robert Marcoux, Walter S. Melion, Stephen Perkinson, Johanna
Scheel, Mary Silcox, Judith Steinhoff, and Noa Turel.
