ISBN 9040084188. ¶ Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art 2007-2008 volume 58/Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek 2007-2008 volume 58. The human body is undoubtedly one of the most relevant subjects in early modern Western art. Until very recently however, art history treated the depiction of the body as an Italian affair, producing faint and mostly inferior echoes in Northern art. Drawing on new research, this volume of the Netherlandish Yearbook for History of Art aims to correct this state of affairs. The 10 essays collected in the volume offer fresh insights into well-known art historical genres including the nude and anatomical studies. Buty they also explore issues of embodiment and the role of the human senses, joining concepts from anthropology, social history, and cultural studies with more traditional art historical methodology.
