Dear Maddy,
Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, have you checked James
Marrow, Passion Iconography in Northern European Art of the Late
Middle Ages and Early Renaissance: A Study in the
Transformation of Sacred Metaphor into Descriptive Narrative
(Kortrijk, 1979)? It is difficult to imagine a more exhaustive study of
the relations between biblical and devotional texts and images of
Christ's Passion. And it is all marshalled towards an explanation
of the multiplication of Christ's torments in visual imagery.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
