5.0 out of 5 stars
What strangeness of being in the 16th-17th century!,
By
This review is from: Hot Dry Men Cold Wet Women: The Theory of Humors in Western European Art 1575-1700 (Paperback)
Naked bodies look pretty much the same today as they did in the 17th century. But explanations of sexual difference that were current then sound very strange now. To some extent, historians of science and medicine and scholars of English literature have helped to bridge this gap by reconstructing and analyzing the prevailing biological ideas of the 1600s. Superb illustrations of not only paintings and sculptures, but odd objects in metal and ceramic. Over fifty artists represented.
