In paintings, frescoes, prints, and sculpture, the boundaries of what could and should be shown were challenged by developments such as the printing press, medical innovation, and religious upheaval. Sex had always been present in art, but its visual codes now proliferated. The satyr, the nude, the garden, and the grotesque became charged with erotic and sexual meaning. Drawing upon art history, the history of sexuality, gender studies, and social history, the course asks how sexuality was visualized, regulated, concealed, and performed in early modern art and culture.
