The Ugly Duchess by Emma Capron
Quinten Massys An Old Woman (The Ugly Duchess) is one of the Renaissances most famous faces. In a fresh review of the image, this book unveils the paintings original context: its status as a pioneering work of satirical art, its debt to da Vincis grotesque drawings, and what it tells us about attitudes towards women, age and beauty.
