Abstract

Depictions of motherhood are ever present in Western art, yet rarely questioned or challenged. We may shy away from a subject that could be seen as sentimental or overly associated with idealistic constructs of femininity, nurture, and care. This book examines motherhood as seen through the eyes of artists.

Abstract

"Maternal bodies in the visual arts" "brings images of the maternal and pregnant body into the centre of art historical enquiry. Exploring religious, secular and scientific traditions as well as contemporary art practices, it demonstrates the power of visual imagery in framing our understanding of maternal bodies and in affirming or contesting prevailing maternal ideals. Ultimately, it shows that becoming maternal is a central experience in art."--Back cover

Abstract

"De tout temps, la monstruosité des mères a suscité l'intérêt de la société. Déclenchant les débats éthiques, des déchaînements médiatiques, elle est aussi à l'origine d'un nombre impressionnant d'œuvres artistiques complexes. L'infanticide maternel, cet acte incompréhensible en soi, a toujours fasciné et répugné à la fois, poussant la médecine à expliquer ces actes par des pathologies aux noms impressionnants tels que le "syndrome de Munchhausen par procuration" ou la "psychose postpartum". D'un point de vue artistique, le motif connaît, du moins depuis la Médée d'Euripide, une longue tradition qui s'inscrit dans la littérature mondiale, mais aussi dans le théâtre, le cinéma ou les arts plastiques. Tantôt furies, tantôt sorcières, ces mères monstrueuses continuent-elles à être considérées comme des êtres contre nature ou la description de ces femmes, de leurs actes et motivations présumées a-t-elle changé au travers les siècles, reflétant les changements des représentations féminines ou encore le traitement de faits d'actualité ?".

Abstract

"This book brings images of holy motherhood and childbearing into the centre of an art-historical enquiry. By focusing on images of St Anne and the Holy Kinship in Books of Hours made for aristocratic women in relation to the dynastic importance of heirs, it reassesses the role of the female viewer as an active agent in the interpretation of pictures and popular devotional rites." "Holy Motherhood combines an innovative methodology that draws on art-historical and contemporary gender studies with empirical evidence from fifteenth-century manuscripts, to show how images worked, not only to script and maintain gender and social roles within patriarchal society, but also to offer viewers ways of managing those roles." "The book will appeal to advanced students, academics and researchers of Art History, Illuminated Manuscripts, Medieval History and Gender Studies."--Jacket
