iconography(comes from the greek and literally means image writing)= the reiteration or the simulation of an event or action with icons(in greek icon means image). It also means the painting of icons in the Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition. Iconography in greek is synonymic with εικονογράφηση(iconographisi) which means 1.the decoration of a bulletin(newspaper,magazine) or a place with images and 2.the whole set of the images which are used to decorate a place or bulletin. Iconography is also a field of study. It is the branch of art history which studies the identification, description and interpretation of the content of images.
