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", and comes from the Greek εἰκών "image" and γράφειν "to write". A secondary meaning is the painting of icons in the Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition. Still in art history, an iconography may also mean a particular depiction of a subject in terms of the content of the image, such as the number of figures used, their placing and gestures. The term is also used in many academic fields other than art history, for example semiotics and media studies, and in general usage, for the content of images, the typical depiction in images of a subject, and related senses. Sometimes distinctions have been made between Iconology and Iconography, although the definitions and so the distinction made varies. From Wikipedia under the

From Google Video Search: "iconography" Why is christian iconography always imbued with a deep sense of depression.? Q. The statues of mary, jesus on the cross, every saint and prophet on the stainglass windows looks so bloody miserable. Crying, moping or pointing towards something out of the scape of the window, and these were the people so sure that they were going to join with an almighty presence. Why are they like this? Is it to infuse the church goers with a wistful melancholy, or purely for artistic reasons? Asked by Captain Nebula ALMA - Sat Jan 17 21:03:18 2009 - Religion & Spirituality - 19 Answers - Comments A. You got the wrong message. St Luke the painter, painted Mother n Child and that started the iconography. Your question really is: Whether St Luke was in error when he painted the Virgin and Jesus. Tradition tells us that St. Luke painted it on the top of a cypress wood table which came from the home of the Holy Family. At the request of the faithful, Mary sat for the portrait. Mary was pleased with the finished portrait, "My grace shall accompany it", and so began the miraculous history of the painting. Venerated for nearly 300 years while hidden in Jerusalem, the painting was discovered by St. Helen while she was searching for the True Cross...

 @ TextbooksRus.com Store: TextbooksRus.com Price: $8.06 USD • Compare Prices ► Condition: used Pictorial reconstructions of ancient human ancestors have twin purposes: to make sense of shared ancestry and to bring prehistory to life. Stephanie Moser analyzes the close relationship between representations of the past and theories about human evolution, showing how this relationship existed even before a scientific understanding of human origins developed. How did mythological, religious, and historically inspired visions of the past, in existence for centuries, shape this understanding? Moser treats images as primary documents, and her book is illustrated with more than eighty engravings, paintings, photographs, and reconstructions .In surveying the iconography of prehistory, Moser explores visions of human creation that were produced during the Renaissance. She looks closely at the first scientific reconstructions of the nineteenth century, which dramatized and made comprehensible the Darwinian theory of human descent from apes. She considers, as well, the impact of reconstructions on popular literature in Europe and North America, showing that early visualizations of prehistory retained a firm hold on the imagination -- a hold that archaeologists and anthropologists have found difficult to shake.  @ Barnes & Noble Store: Barnes & Noble Price: $65.00 USD • Compare Prices ► Condition: new The Codrus Painter was a painter of cups and vases in fifth-century BCE Athens with a distinctive style; he is named after Codrus, a legendary Athenian king depicted on one of his most characteristic vases. He was active as an artist during the rule of Pericles, as the Parthenon was built and then as the troubled times of the Peloponnesian War began. In contrast to the work of fellow artists of his day, the vases of the Codrus Painter appear to have been created almost exclusively for export to markets outside Athens and Greece, especially to the Etruscans in central Italy and to points further west. Amalia Avramidou offers a thoroughly researched, amply illustrated study of the Codrus Painter that also comments on the mythology, religion, arts, athletics, and daily life of Greece depicted on his vases. She evaluates his style and the defining characteristics of his own hand and of the minor painters associated with him. Examining the subject matter, figure types, and motifs on the vases, she compares them with sculptural works produced during the same period. Avramidou's iconographic analysis not only encompasses the cultural milieu of the Athenian metropolis, but also offers an original and intriguing perspective on the adoption, meaning, and use of imported Attic vases among the Etruscans.
