Level one, pre-iconographical description, identifies forms and expressions using practical experience. Level two, iconographical analysis, requires knowledge of literary sources. Level three is what Panofsky called iconology. Warburg's term for a persistent formula of bodily gesture is the Pathosformel.
The last blank is the point where the two founders diverge. Panofsky's levels are a procedure for reading one image; Warburg's Pathosformel is a claim about what travels between images across centuries, and the two projects have been in productive tension ever since.
