Here is the third, expanded gift edition of The Suffering Middle Ages. This book will tell you how in Christian art the sacred was intertwined with the comical, monstrous or obscene. We will talk not only about the past, but also about how to read medieval images today.Why are there monsters in monastic robes on the pages of Psalms and Horologues? Why were lovers depicted in indecent poses on the walls of temples? Why were Satan and the Antichrist sometimes represented with halos, like saints? How did Christ become an allegory of the Philosopher's stone in alchemical treatises?It is generally believed that the artist of that time acted within the strict limits set by the church canon, the will of the customer and ancient samples. But in fact, the medieval masters still had space for a visual experiment with sacred subjects. Together we will find out where in medieval art the line between permissible laughter and sacrilege lay.This book was created on the initiative of the Suffering Middle Ages community, which united more than half a million subscribers.
