Visualizing Sensuous Suffering and Affective Pain in Early Modern Europe and the Spanish Americas
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.
Ribera’s Repetitions
The seventeenth-century Valencian artist Jusepe de Ribera spent most of his career in Spanish Viceregal Naples, where he was known as “Lo Spagnoletto,” or “the Little Spaniard.” Working under the patronage of Spanish viceroys, Ribera held a special position bridging two worlds. In Ribera’s Repetitions, art historian Todd P. Olson sheds new light on the complexity of Ribera’s artwork and artistic methods and their connections to the Spanish imperial project. Drawing from a diverse range of sources, including poetry, literature, natural history, philosophy, and political history, Olson presents Ribera’s work in a broad context. He examines how Ribera’s techniques, including rot...
Das Herz in den Bildmedien religiöser Frauengemeinschaften
In den Bildmedien religiöser Frauengemeinschaften der Frühen Neuzeit war das Herz von besonderer Bedeutung. Maria Schaller analysiert Porträts und bildtragende Schmuckstücke, die im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert in katholischen Nonnenklöstern und protestantischen Damenstiften entstanden sind und Vorstellungen wie die Einwohnung, das Einprägen oder die Einschreibung des Göttlichen in das menschliche Herz thematisieren. Untersucht werden Rückgriffe auf die Herzvisionen spätmittelalterlicher Mystiker*innen, aber auch bemerkenswerte Neusemantisierungen wie die Konstruktion der Genealogie einer „ewigen Herzenswunde“. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, inwiefern die präsentierten Körperbilder und Imaginationen des Herzens Aushandlungsprozesse im Spannungsfeld von Konfession, Stand und Geschlecht widerspiegeln. Grundlegender Beitrag zur Genderforschung und Körpergeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit Bilder des Herzens in verschiedenen christlichen Konfessionen

Gender Violence, Art, and the Viewer
The works covered in college art history classes frequently depict violence against women. Traditional survey textbooks highlight the impressive formal qualities of artworks depicting rape, murder, and other violence but often fail to address the violent content and context. Gender Violence, Art, and the Viewer investigates the role that the art history field has played in the past and can play in the future in education around gender violence in the arts. It asks art historians, museum educators, curators, and students to consider how, in the time of #MeToo, a public reckoning with gender violence in art can revitalize the field of art history. Contributors to this timely volume amplify the...
