This paper endeavors to explore what we could learn about human sexuality in medieval and early modern art. Although scholarship has begun to explore such features as grotesque misericords and corbels, many questions regarding the appropriate interpretation of such images remain unanswered. The first task will be to identify and circumscribe the corpus of relevant documents in medieval art, and then we can try to discuss them more in depth than has been done so far. In order to achieve this goal, we must first establish the larger context, take into consideration biblical, theological, legal, and literary statements, and then embed the medieval images in that context. The history of sexuality has long been recognized as fundamental for the history of mentality, but we have not yet integrated relevant wood or stone carvings, oil paintings, metal objects (pilgrimage badges) or frescoes sufficiently enough to compensate for the seemingly overarching and repressive influence which the Catholic Church exerted on medieval and early modern society and which the discussion of sex in medieval art will qualify to some extent. 2
