Explores how certain educated northern Europeans in the first half of the sixteenth century increasingly saw their world as disharmonious and inclusive of mutual contradiction.

“A true delight. This is one of the most engaging monographs in art history (in fact truly interdisciplinary, but with a strong foundation in art history) I have had the pleasure to read in a long time.”
