Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to draw attention to the axiological dimension of the interpretation of the works of visual art. The recognition of this dimension becomes possible through the use of an appropriate method that enables the identification of values in the space of a given work of art. The original contribution of the present article consists in developing a method based on the identification of values through semiological-iconographic axiology. Applying this method allows one to discover the content and meaning of the artwork itself, as well as a whole wealth of symbols, allegories or metaphors. Above all, it enables one to identify values, including moral and religious values that are so important in human life.
