Document Summary

Week 6 review of weeks 4 & 5. Evolution of iconography and frozen iconography (my term) These are the ways that we study art, and we can study almost any one piece of representational art in all of these ways. And all three of these ways inform our understanding of the work. For the most part, iconography and stylistic or formal analysis depends on comparing and contrasting objects that have some visual similarities, but considerations of the meaning of objects in historical context does not necessarily require visual similarities. Iconoclasm is a different sort of thing altogether, but as we shall see, it makes sense to discuss it in this review. Justinian"s palace chapel at ravenna , about 500.
