    Interruptions and Transitions: Essays on the Senses in Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture' is an anthology of the most recent works by Barbara Baert, discussing the connection between the experiences of the senses in the medieval and early modern visual culture, the hermeneutics of imagery, and the limits and possibilities of contemporary Art Sciences.0The six chapters include Pentecost, Noli me tangere, the woman with an issue of blood, the Johannesschussel, the dancing Salome, and the role of the wind.0The reader is shown a medieval and early modern visual culture as a history of artistic solutions, as the fascinating approach between biblical texts, plastic imagination, and the art-scientific metier. This makes him a privileged guest in a unique in-between space where humans and their artistic expression can meet existentially Pentecost and the senses : a hermeneutical contribution to the visual medium and the sensorium in early medieval manuscript tradition -- An odour, a taste, a touch : impossible to describe : Noli me tangere and the senses -- "Who touched me and my clothes?" The healing of the woman with the haemorrhage in early medieval visual culture -- The Johannesschussel as Andachtsbild : the gaze, the medium, and the senses -- "When the daughter came in and danced :" revisiting Salome's dance in medieval and early modern iconology -- Wild is the wind : pathosformel and iconology of a quintessence

    This anthology is the result of an interdisciplinary project on the phenomenon of the decapitated head of Saint John the Baptist in its exegetical context, in the material culture of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and finally in more recent approaches regarding medium studies. Several specialists and scholars from these fields were invited to share their most recent conclusions, thus contributing to our understanding of one of the most peculiar events, artifacts and phenomena in West: the rise and fall of a male head as subject of martyrdom, devotion and artistic expression. What emerges from these collected essays is a nuanced understanding of the beheading and presentation of Saint John

    The so-called 'Garden of delights' by Jheronimus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) remains an absolutely iconic work in European art history. The highly complex and enigmatic image has frequently been interpreted as a paradisiacal utopia, in which people indulge playfully in erotic pleasure in harmony with nature. It is a visual utopia framed before Thomas More had actually coined the word in a book whose entirely unfrivolous blueprint for society could hardly differ more from Bosch's phantasm. More traditional art historians have identified Bosch's masterpiece as a painted warning against the sins of the body, more specifically that of 'lust,' citing the image of Hell in the right wing in support. Vandenbroeck argues that these two interpretations need not preclude one another: Bosch painted a phantasmagorical false paradise that leads inexorably to ruin. He drew his inspiration from folk ideas about a semi-earthly, semi-supernatural erotic paradise or grail, in which those who entered could live in a dream-world of unbridled pleasure. But only until Judgement Day, upon which they would all wind up in Hell

    Discussing medieval and early modern 'disembodied heads' this collection questions the why and how of the primacy of the head in the bodily hierarchy during the premodern period. On the basis of beliefs, mythologies and traditions concerning the head, they come to an 'cultural anatomy' of the head.

A life of the 'it' in it rains -- Bibliography -- Index nominum -- Image Credits Der Mensch hat seit Langem eine besondere Beziehung zu den atmosphärischen Eigenschaften seiner Umwelt, besonders wenn es um Regen geht. Anhand einzigartiger und aussagekräftiger Fälle - von prähistorischen Höhlenmalereien bis hin zu Fotografie und Kino - wirft dieses Buch ein neues Licht auf ein Thema, das sowohl ökologisch als auch ikonologisch und sowohl natur- als auch kulturgeschichtlich ist. Reichen unsere derzeitigen Paradigmen in der Bildwissenschaft aus, um die Kunst und Kultur des Regens nuanciert zu beschreiben? Und wie können wir uns diesem Phänomen auch jenseits des Visuellen nähern, wenn man bedenkt, dass man ja nicht einfach nur auf den Regen blickt, sondern im Grunde in ihn hineinschaut? Barbara Baert beleuchtet in ihrer beeindruckenden Abhandlung die menschliche Fähigkeit, Bilderwelten und Faszination miteinander verschmelzen zu können. Ihre einzigartige Prosa macht dies zu einem tiefgründigen, mutigen und in manchen Momenten leidenschaftlichen Essay. Barbara Baert ist Professorin für Kunstgeschichte an der KU Löwen. Sie lehrt Ikonologie, Kunsttheorie und Analyse sowie Kunst des Mittelalters. Ihre Arbeit vereint Wissen und Fragen aus der Ideengeschichte, Kulturanthropologie und Philosophie und zeugt von einem tiefen Verständnis für kulturelle Archetypen und ihre Symptome in den Bildkünsten Humankind has traditionally had a special relationship with the atmospheric characteristics of their environment, especially when it comes to rain. Using unique and expertly developed cases - from prehistoric cave paintings up to the meaning of rain in photography and cinema - this book casts new light on a theme that is both ecological and iconological, both natural and cultural-historical. Are our current paradigms in the visual studies enough to be able to describe the art and culture surrounding rain in a nuanced way, even to reach Beyond? Considering one does not simply look at the rain, one looks into the rain? Its effect on the audience is contaminating, it seeps through, elusive and dynamic. In the book, important cultural thinkers from both the past as well as the present are invited to carefully consider these questions with the author. Barbara Baert's touching essay reveals the capability of humans to combine imagery and fascination into one. Baert's unique prose makes Looking Beyond the Rain. Magic-Moisture-Medium a profound, bold, and sometimes fervent essay. Barbara Baert is Professor of Art History at KU Leuven. She teaches in the field of Iconology, Art Theory & Analysis, and Medieval Art. Her work links knowledge and questions from the history of ideas, cultural anthropology and philosophy, and shows great sensitivity to cultural archetypes and their symptoms in the visual arts

    A stain is the evidence of something that was. It's a trace. A stain may be something quite ordinary: the ink stain on my index finger; the mark of your fingers on this book. A stain may also be embarrassing: lipstick on a cheek; sweat rings under the arms; a bloody discharge. A stain may be forensically incriminating. A stain may be kept for sentimental reasons. Moreover, every stain has its own particular texture. Texture denotes the consistency of a surface and the sensory, often tactile imprint that is left on it. The stain may be absorbed in the thing that supports it; then again, it may stay on the surface, something separate. Every stain is unique. In this essay the author deals with seven factors that make the stain into a powerful model for rethinking the visual: the stain as prototype and prefiguration, the stain as relic, the stain of Veronica, the stain as a psycho-energetic symptom, the stain as pars pro toto for the womb, the stain and le désir mimétique and finally the stain as an image paradigm of the residue.

    The so-called 'Garden of delights' by Jheronimus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) remains an absolutely iconic work in European art history. The highly complex and enigmatic image has frequently been interpreted as a paradisiacal utopia, in which people indulge playfully in erotic pleasure in harmony with nature. It is a visual utopia framed before Thomas More had actually coined the word in a book whose entirely unfrivolous blueprint for society could hardly differ more from Bosch's phantasm. More traditional art historians have identified Bosch's masterpiece as a painted warning against the sins of the body, more specifically that of 'lust,' citing the image of Hell in the right wing in support. Vandenbroeck argues that these two interpretations need not preclude one another: Bosch painted a phantasmagorical false paradise that leads inexorably to ruin. He drew his inspiration from folk ideas about a semi-earthly, semi-supernatural erotic paradise or grail, in which those who entered could live in a dream-world of unbridled pleasure. But only until Judgement Day, upon which they would all wind up in Hell
