Religious Symbolism in 15th Century Northern European Art
This discussion introduces an area of art history called iconography, the study of symbols. Northern Renaissance painting is not only rich in detail but layered with symbolic meaning. Some symbolic references are overtly religious, but many are disguised to us as everyday objects. These meanings would not be lost on a well-educated individual of the 15th century, but, for us, recognizing the symbols in Flemish painting takes a little investigation. You will find that knowing these nuances adds another level of understanding and appreciation for the works.
To begin, select and research one of the following paintings as your topic:
