Introduction to Iconography: How to Read Pictures
How to find representations of the childhood of the Virgin Mary? Why is Venus often depicted with a pair of doves? How to recognize archangel Gabriel? Without a classical education in art many paintings remain illegible. This volume remedies the problem with a comprehensive introduction into the extensive field of pictorial themes, literary sources, and image functions.
The study guide offers strategies for the interpretations of Christian and secular images from early Christianity until the twentieth century. It gives the reader a grounding in pictorial representation of biblical topics and Classical mythology and offers approaches to typology and symbolism based on the newest research.
