Tastes and Temptations

Meer over het boek

Fruits and vegetables as erotic metaphors in still life paintings, the Florentine Baptistry replicated in sausage and cheese by Andrea del Sarto, a recipe for fish molded in the shape of a goat, the discovery of an Ovidian scene at the bottom of a soup bowl. This book explores the interplay between art and cuisine during the Italian Renaissance.
