Studies on gender and sexuality have proliferated in the last decades, covering a wide spectrum of disciplines. This collection of essays offers a metanarrative of sexuality as it has been recently embedded in the art historical discourse of the European Renaissance.

The collection focuses on the Italian Renaissance, but also includes case studies from Germany and France.
