Death and Art: Europe 1200-1530 - Eleanor Townsend

In Medieval and Renaissance Europe, where life expectancy was under 40 and the Catholic Church taught that, after dying, the soul faced a terrifying and uncertain onward journey, death was a major cultural preoccupation. This fascinating book sets out the beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife in a mainly Catholic Europe, and explores how these shaped attitudes to the visual arts.
