Body and Embodiment

Covers the body and embodiment in Dutch visual art from 1450-1700. This book looks at themes such as: the iconology of the noli me tangere, the ideal soldier in Jacques de Gheyn's Wapenhandelinghe, the painted skin in art theory, Jan Gossaert's epitomisation of the Maecenas, the secrets of the dummy, and, the female nude as Ruben's trademark.
