ZWOLLE.: Body and Embodiment in Netherlandish Art.
Zwolle, 2008. 264pp, 154 ills. This book in the Dutch Art Historical Year Book 58 series covers the body and embodiment in Dutch visual art from 1450-1700.

Among the themes looked at are: the iconology of the noli me tangere, the ideal soldier in Jacques de Gheyn's Wapenhandelinghe, the painted skin in art theory, Jan Gossaert's epitomisation of the Maecenas, the secrets of the dummy, the female nude as Ruben’s trademark, Rembrandt and the body language of Mughal miniatures and Frederick Ruysch between anatomy and art. Text in English. Cloth. New.
