A 2021 Sue Grafton Memorial Award Nominee In the highly anticipated follow-up to Flowers Over the Inferno, Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, expert criminal profiler with four decades of experience on the Italian police force, returns for a chilling cold case. A decades-old murder investigation has landed on Superintendent Teresa Battaglia's desk. DNA analysis has revealed that a painting from the final days of World War II contains matter from a human heart. Teresa is able to trace the evidence to Val Resia, one of Italy’s most isolated, untouched regions. When Teresa’s investigation hits too close to the truth, a fresh human heart is hung at the valley’s entrance, a warning not to cross its threshold. As she hunts a ruthless killer, Teresa must face down her own rapidly deteriorating physical and cognitive abilities, as well as someone she hoped never to see again—a man who has just become her supervisor.

A man whose caress is like fire…. Now Valerian must fight for the privilege of claiming her as his own. Because there's one thing Shaye doesn't know….

This existing scholarship has explored their individual places within broader mythologies, literature and art, and typically briefly touches on how the two function together as an ensemble within these cultural spheres. However, while Lynn Frier Kaufmann and Jennifer Larson have endeavoured to articulate both of these figures independently, wider implications regarding the satyr and the nymph as a pairing - specifically within art - have not been thoroughly investigated. In this thesis, I have attempted to examine the origin, revival, and eventual spread of what I describe as the "sleeping nymph and leering satyr' coupling. This pictorial type, in which a satyr is depicted voyeuristically spying on a sleeping nymph figure, seems to serves a specific function in the mind of the viewer - it is meant to suggest in the mind of its audience the theme of sexual assault. I believe that the circumstances surrounding the creation of this pictorial pairing means that connotations of sexual assault are heavily embedded into it, therefore imbuing all images that feature this pairing with the idea of sexual assault as we understand it today. This thesis will feature formal visual analysis of this iconographic type within the broader social context. Separate sections explore three different societies in which the "sleeping nymph and leering satyr' coupling proliferated: ancient Greece, sixteenth-century Italy, and the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Secondary historical resources will be analysed in order to contextualise the way in which each of these societies viewed rape and sexual assault. This enables an understanding of why this subject matter was deemed acceptable - and at times, desirable - in the art of each period. This merging of formal visual analysis and social history research indicates a more involved process in the dissection of iconographies, allowing for new insight into old subject matter.
