Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) an iconographic approach.

Explanation:

In Art, when we talk about iconography we refer to the approach with which the meaning or content of an image is studied.

It is the analysis of the context of creation of a work through a deep observation, which can be symbolic or analyzed from the point of view of personal experiences that the person who created the work has lived, or simply because of what the person who acquires the work wishes to interpret.

An iconographic argument always depends on the collection of historical evidence to construct an interpretation of the work.
