Walking saints without a head, wounds in the shape of a vagina and Jesus being squeezed like a grape: welcome to the intriguing world of medieval times.
Thanks to a growing fixation on the body and body parts, works of art are created in the late Middle Ages that today are viewed with astonishment and sometimes incomprehension. How should we look at these works of art from so long ago with our contemporary eyes? In “Body Language” you will become acquainted with the role that the body plays in the devotion of the late Middle Ages (1300 – 1500) and the surprising and for us sometimes bizarre works of art that accompany it.
This publication concludes a multi-year research project into the body in the Middle Ages at the University of Amsterdam and appears at the exhibition of the same name at Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht (25.09.2020 – 17.1.2021). IN DUTCH!
