Proportions

Explanation

Each subject in Iconographic Encylopædia was analyzed using ten metrics. Charting those metrics as treemaps and then layering them on top of each other and blending the transparency results in the textured image above. The subjects for each metric were arranged in the order they appear in the original text with the first typically appearing near the top left and the last appearing around the bottom right. Subjects are also color coded
