Death, Torture and the Broken Body in European Art, 1300-1650 subcategory weights Suitable as a recommended textBodies mangled, limbs broken, skin flayed, blood spilled: from paintings to prints to small sculptures, the art of the late Middle Ages and early modern period gave rise to disturbing scenes of violence.
