How does Panofsky distinguish iconography from the analysis of form and what example does he give at the beginning of the chapter? (2 marks) 2. Aside from form, what are the three main ways that Panofsky suggests meaning is communicated and apprehended, and, if applicable, how does he further break down those forms of meaning into sub-categories? Briefly outline what he means by them (1-2 sentence for each). (6 marks) 3. Now explain the three larger interpretive categories that Panofsky develops out of these forms of meaning.
