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"--Back cover.Death in artDeath in art.700.4548Perkinson StephenTurel NoaCaPaEBRCaPaEBRUtOrBLWBOOK9910794388703321Picturing death 1200-16003679058UNINA
