SHORT COURSE IN CASCAIS HISTORY: Introduction to Iconography
Iconography is a topic with a very wide scope and the objective of these ‘conversations about iconography’, around the question “What do images tell us?”, is above all to awaken interest and curiosity in this area of study, which constitutes one of the multiple aspects of visual culture.
The objective of this course, taught by Ana Paula Correia, is to make reading christian,
mythological and allegorical images/narratives accessible, and to familiarize participants with the iconographic research methods and tools necessary for identifying, decoding and reading figures and narrative programs, having as reference the images of Cascais artistic heritage, also contributing to its dissemination and the importance of its preservation.
