When you have artistic objects or images from religion or art and wish to understand and analyse the meanings of the signs or symbols portrayed therein then iconology and iconography provide useful tools to make the process easier. This dataset focuses on systemising the process of iconology and iconography research by drawing on Edwin Panofsky's three levels of analysis. The data provided in this example are two famous paintings: 'The Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci and 'Guernica' by Pablo Picasso. A third image, 'The Birth of Venus' by Botticelli, is provided to practice on.
