Iconographic analysis and iconological interpretation is a method of analysis developed by Erwin Panofsky. This method, which is especially used in figurative and thematic artwork, is still valid today. This course is geared towards conveying how the method of Iconographic analysis and iconological interpretation is applied on works of art. Moreover, stories of the Old and New Testament which have initiated Bedrettin Cömert to include his method in History of turkish Art studies, are presented throughout the semester. Based on the method of Iconographic analysis and iconological interpretation, the course also aims at identifying subjects of figurative art, which cover a wide rande from daily life to holy books and to mythology. Another objective of the course is to explain Christain and Islamic iconography by taking first-hand resources as a basis and to help students gain the skills to make correct identifications, descriptions and explanations via examples of artwork. |
