An icon is a complex set of interwoven symbols that have evolved over centuries to form a refined and sophisticated visual language. When reading an icon, colors, clothing, hairstyles, gestures, and objects the subject holds all offer insight into what the iconographer was trying to convey.  Iconography is a living tradition, and icons today are still painted using traditional, centuries-old techniques and styles.
