Iconography
Iconography is the branch of
art history which studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images. The word iconography literally means "image writing", or painting, and comes from the
Greek εικον (image) and γραφειν (to write). A secondary meaning is the painting of
icons in the
Byzantine and
Orthodox Christian tradition. A third meaning lies in the field of
semiotics, see below.
