High-style funerary sculptures from the turn of the twentieth century are examined as significant cultural artifacts rather than mere oddities. This volume delves into their roles as objects of consolation and power, highlighting their multisensory appeal and the shifting perceptions surrounding them. By situating these monuments within a broader context, the book reveals their deeper meanings and functions in society, challenging the traditional scholarly focus on individual artists or local histories.
