        Abstract
        „Visual Arts and Medicine in Early Modern Europe and Beyond“ explores the close connections between art and medicine in Europe from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period, a time crucial to the development of both fields. The volume demonstrates how artistic methods and visual education shaped medical practice by analysing shared institutional frameworks, methodological approaches, and the interplay of observation and embodied knowledge. Through case studies and a wide range of sources, it offers new perspectives on the entanglement of art, medicine, and science, questioning conventional boundaries between physical and mental health, religious and medical healing, and practical and theoretical knowledge.
         
        „Visual Arts and Medicine in Early Modern Europe and Beyond“ untersucht die engen Verbindungen zwischen Kunst und Medizin in Europa vom Spätmittelalter bis zur Frühen Neuzeit, einer Epoche, die entscheidend für die Entwicklung beider Disziplinen war. Der Band zeigt, wie künstlerische Methoden und visuelle Bildung medizinische Praktiken prägten, indem er institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen, geteilte methodische Ansätze und das Zusammenspiel von Beobachtung und verkörpertem Wissen analysiert. Durch Fallstudien und vielfältige Quellen eröffnet er neue Perspektiven auf die Verflechtung von Kunst, Medizin und Wissenschaft und hinterfragt dabei traditionelle Grenzziehungen zwischen körperlicher und geistiger Gesundheit, religiöser und medizinischer Heilung sowie praktischem und theoretischem Wissen.
