Blood, milk, ink, gold : abundance and excess in the French Renaissance
"With a wide-ranging yet richly detailed interdisciplinary approach, Rebecca Zorach examines the visual culture of the French Renaissance, where depictions of sacrifice, luxury, fertility, violence, metamorphosis, and sexual excess are central. Zorach looks at the cultural, political, and individual roles that played out in these artistic themes and how eventually, these aesthetics of exuberant abundance disintegrated amidst perceptions of decadent excess."--Jacket
