Here is the third, supplemented gift edition of the "suffering Middle Ages". This book will tell how in Christian art the sacred was intertwined with comic, monstrous or obscene. It will be not only about the past, but also about how to read medieval images today.
Where on the pages of the psalmers and the Wastens of monsters in monastic cashway? Why on the walls of the temples they depicted lovers in indecent poses? Why was Satan and Antichrist sometimes represented with halo, like saints? How Christ has become an allegory of philosophical stone in alchemical treatises?
It is believed that the artist of that time acted in the strict framework set by the church canon, the will of the customer and ancient examples. But in reality, medieval masters had a space for a visual experiment with sacred plots. Together we will find out where in medieval art the border between the permitted laugh and sacrilege ran
