This yearbook opens with a preface by Paul Huvenne and presents a thematic series of scholarly studies on the biblical story of the healing of the woman with the haemorrhage (Mark 5:24b-34 and parallels) in medieval and later visual culture. Barbara Baert examines the representation of the miracle in early medieval art. Lise De Greef studies Speerbildchen featuring the Christ Child in the wounded heart under the title Uterus Cordis. Liesbet Kusters investigates the identity of the haemorrhaging woman and the history of her reception. Emma Sidgwick offers a cultural-anthropological exploration of tactility and potentiality in the motif of the Haemorrhoissa. In addition, Paul Vandenbroeck continues his research on genre painting as a collective process of inversive self-definition between circa 1400 and 1800, focusing on the beggar and the outcast, and analyses a series of Brussels tapestries after Hieronymus Bosch in relation to folk culture, bourgeois ideology and aristocratic recuperation between the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
