Sumario: | Part IIIPart IV The Monumental Body of the Renaissance Child; 9 The Monumental Body and the Renaissance Child: Trends and Patterns; 10 The Monumental Body and the Renaissance Child: the Changing Putto; 11 The Monumental Body of the Renaissance Child: Other Forms of Visual Presentation; Summary Part IV; Part V The Polish Putto-and-Skull: Iconography and Iconology; 12 The Polish Putto-and-Skull: Iconographic Layers of Significance; 13 The Polish Putto-and-Skull: Rudiments of Laughter, Grotesque Bodies and Mythic Boundaries; Conclusions; Plates; Catalogue; Church Names; Glossary. Through an exploration of the unique Polish tradition of child commemoration, this book raises issues beyond the monuments themselves, about Polish social life and family structuring in the early modern period, including attitudes to children and the position of women, as well as the transmission and reception of Renaissance ideas outside Italy. Drawing upon social and cultural history, visual and gender studies, the work not only asks important new questions, but provides a fresh perspective on familiar topics and themes within Renaissance history. |
