Un drôle de genre chez Hermès et Esculape
| Resumo: | This article responds to the need for a cross-disciplinary approach to the iconography of anatomy and alchemy. In these two fields, the recurrent representations of the female body, or iconogyny, in a number of publications from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries invite us to examine the question of gender independently, as much as is possible, of written discourse. The study focuses on some thirty illustrations, more or less familiar to historians of texts and ideas, and aims at contributing to the imaginary of the pre-modern body. |
