Description
The Index Iconologicus contains 60,000 entries assembled from twenty renowned sources. It is an iconographic index spanning the major periods of art and literary history with a concentration on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century prints. The entries represent both printed and pictorial material. The earliest imprint is 1250, and the most recent is 1940.
Each entry is arranged alphabetically by keyword. Assigned keywords are based on the most significant aspect of each imprint. Keywords are tied to specific subjects such as: Architecture, History, and Science.
Index Iconologicus complements the Decimal Index to the Art of the Low Countries/Iconclass system, but unlike D.I.A.L., it is assembled from twenty printed sources, including Adam von Bartsch's Le Peintre Graveur. The majority of photographs included in the Index were originally published as a separate volume by the Warburg Institute to accompany Le Peintre Graveur. Bartsh interpretative sources, bestiaries and bibliographic material are also included among the Index entries.
