About this book
This study examines the reciprocal relationship between allegorical printmaking cycles and the Netherlands’ Early Modern festive culture by looking at Maarten van Heemskerck’s "Cycle of Human Existence." These kinds of series creatively appropriated the reality-generating function of performative acts, serving as socio-culturally effective worldviews whose structure was aesthetically reconstituted in the handling of the prints.
