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