AI overview
Iconography refers to the symbolic meanings embedded in images and artworks—the hidden messages conveyed through objects, gestures, and other visual elements rather than words. Understanding iconography matters because it allows us to read deeper layers of meaning in paintings and other artworks, revealing what the artist intended to communicate beyond what we see on the surface.
