Available for the first time in English, An Introduction to Iconography explains the ways that artists use references and allusions to create meaning. The book presents the historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of iconography and ICONCLASS, the comprehensive iconographical indexing system developed by Henri van de Waal. It gives particular emphasis to the history of iconography, personification, allegory, and symbols, and the literary sources that inform iconographic readings, and includes annotated bibliographies of books and journal articles from around the world that are associated with iconographic research. The author of numerous articles and a four-volume reference work on Italian prints, Roelof van Straten is currently working on an iconographic index covering the prints of Goltzius and his school.

Foleor Publishers is pleased to announce the publication of a new series of iconographic reference works. After his series of Iconclass indexes on Italian prints, Roelof van Straten is now preparing a ten-volume iconographic catalogue: the Iconclass Indexes: Dutch Prints. The first three volumes published (volumes 4, 7 and 8 in the series) cover the Dutch prints catalogued by Bartsch in the first five volumes of "Le Peintre-Graveur". The indices on Dutch prints are of special importance to those institutes and museums that have a copy of The Illustrated Bartsch at their disposal, because the volumes will refer to all the Dutch prints reproduced therein. Dutch prints, with their enormous spread and influence on the visual arts, will finally be accessible according to subject. "The Iconclass Indexes: Dutch Prints" will soon become an indispensable reference tool for all those who are interested in Netherlandish art and culture of the16th and 17th centuries.
