520    The concept of 'happiness' is central to most civilized 
       cultures. This volume investigates the many ways in which 
       Western art visualized the concept from the early Middle 
       Ages to the present. Employing different methodological 
       approaches, the essays gathered here situate the concept 
       of human happiness within discourses on gender, religion, 
       intellectual life, politics and 'New-Age' culture. 
       Operating as a cultural agent, art communicated the idea 
       of happiness as both a physical and spiritual condition by
       exploiting specific formulae of representation. This 
       volume combines art history, cultural analyses and 
       intellectual studies in order to explore the complexities 
       of iconographic programs that represent various forms of 
       happiness, or its explicit absence, and to expose the 
       implications embedded in the artistic works in question. 
       Through innovative readings, the ten authors presented in 
       the book survey different artistic and/or cultural 
       paradigms and offer new interpretations of happiness or of
       its absence.
