iconographers
Religious image artists
Iconographers are artists who create icons—religious images, especially in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
The term also applies to scholars who study the symbolic content and meaning of images in art.
An iconographer working in a church paints saints according to strict conventions; an iconographer analyzing Renaissance paintings interprets their visual symbols.
