- Summary
- "In pre-modern times, death was a more visible phenomenon than it is nowadays, due to shorter average lifespans, but also to the fact that dying and death and the subsequent phases of interment, bereavement, and remembrance were ... collectively experienced, publicly performed, and commemorated in enduring monuments." Addressing the "Low Countries and its diaspora, from the late Middle Ages to the eighteenth century", this volume of the 'Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art' offers a diverse collection of eleven essays "on works of art, permanent or ephemeral, ... related to phenomena and cultural experiences of death, dying, and deposition."--"Introduction", page 7.
