This original book examines the range of meaning that has been attached to the male backside in Renaissance art and culture, the transformation of the base connotation of the image to high art, and the question of homoerotic impulses or implications of admiring male figures from behind. Representations of the male body's behind have often been associated with things obscene, carnivalesque, comical, or villainous. Presenting serious scholarship with a deft hand, 'Seen from Behind' expands our understanding of the motif of the male buttocks in Renaissance art, revealing both continuities and changes in the ways the images convey meaning and have been given meaning. 650 0 $a Men in art. 650 0 $a Male nude in art. 650 0 $a Buttocks in art. 650 0 $a Art, Renaissance. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103022947.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214013043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=08B8ECB03F1811E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
