| Description | The book The Suffering Middle Ages, written by Mikhail Maizuls, Sergey Zotov and Dilshat Harman, explains why in medieval Christian art the sacred and the sublime were so closely intertwined with the comic, the grotesque and the obscene. The authors show how medieval people perceived hell, sin, death and the devil through the prism of visual culture. Growing out of a popular online meme community, this edition explores some of the strangest and most curious images from old manuscripts and churches.
Why did medieval monks draw grotesque creatures, chimeras and parodic monkeys in the margins of sacred texts? How did obscene or comic figures carved on church walls help parishioners make sense of their fear of divine judgement? The authors explain the frightening, strange and absurd subjects of images that seem out of place in a religious context to the modern reader. |
