Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
The picture or image component of something, such as an emblem or poem, that contains a combination of imagery and text or symbols..
It is customary to distinguish three components in an emblem: the pictura or symbolic image or picture, accompanied by the preceding inscriptio or motto and the subsequent subscriptio, usually an explication in verse of the idea expressed in combination of the inscriptio and the pictura.
Clearly, the relationship between pictura and motto became more literal in this emblem.
A poem may contain things which are significant in spite of the fact that the events it describes are a mere pictura of something which never happened.
Use pictura when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
