- Abstract:
- Iconotropism is a gargantuan overgeneralization hypothesizing that people are hungry for pictures and feed on them, metabolize them, turn them into nourishment. The study examples are Raphael's Transfiguration and Titian's Diana and Actaeon. It is a contribution to embodiment theory and cognitive cultural history.
