Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Yvonne Owens writes art history, emotional histories, philosophy of art, and creative critical studies. Her publications to date have mainly focused on representations of women and the gendering of evil "defect" in classical humanist discourses, cross-referencing these figures to historical art, theology, literature, and the sciences. She also writes cultural criticism, exploring contemporary post-humanist discourses in art, literature and new media. She is currently exploring the intersections among science, the sacred and the arts.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Hans Baldung Grien, the most famous apprentice and close friend of German artist Albrecht Duerer, was known for his unique and highly eroticised images of witches. In paintings and woodcut prints, he gave powerful visual expression to late medieval tropes and stereotypes, such as the poison maiden, venomous virgin, the Fall of Man, death and the maiden and other motifs and eschatological themes, which mingled abject and erotic qualities in the female body.Yvonne Owens reads these images against the humanist intellectual milieu of Renaissance Germany, showing how classical and medieval medicine and natural philosophy interpreted female anatomy as toxic, defective and dangerously beguiling. She reveals how Hans Baldung exploited this radical polarity to create moralising and titillating portrayals of how monstrous female sexuality victimised men and brought them low. Furthermore, these images issued fromand contributed tothe contemporary understanding of witchcraft as a heresy that stemmed from natural feminine defect, a concept derived from Aristotle. Offering new and provocative interpretations of Hans Baldungs iconic witchcraft imagery, this book is essential reading for historians of art, culture and gender relations in the late medieval and early modern periods.
