The difference between "Iconography" and "Iconology" I read a book yesterday that referred to "Iconography" and "Iconology". I looked them up in the English dictionary and have got it. the meaning of "Iconography" is that the way that a particular people, religiors or political group etc represent ideas in pictures or images; "Iconology", it means the branch of art history that studies visual images and their symbolic meaning(especially in social or political terms). According to the writer, the former means discriptive and derived from Geek "graphein", the latter means explanatory and originated from Greece "logos". I am not sure whether my composition is correct.

What is the difference between "Iconography" and "Iconology" ? 今天天气好，出太阳了。我步行到图书馆看书，计步软件显示，走了12000步。步行是我健身的方式之一。 The sun is shining, the weather is much better than yesterday. I walked to the library near my house in the moring. "Health" app marked "13,280" steps. Walking is one of the optimal methods for me to stay health. 我看了一本很有意思的书，是从国外引进的，翻译成中文的版本，内容涉及到视觉、图像等等。译者在前言里一再强调"Iconography" 和"Iconology" 的区别。 I just read an amazing book that is Chinese version from abroad, which relate to visual, image, and others. The translator especially emphasized that the difference between "Iconography" and "Iconology". 我很想知道，这两个词的区别在哪呢？ I am wondering what is the difference between those words?
