The subsequent five centuries were punctuated by many illustrated editions; imaginary portraits of the eponymous procuress Celestina by painters such as Murillo, Goya, and Picasso; and, more recently, screen and stage adaptations. Celestina became the prototype from which later representations of procuresses and bawds derived.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Image of Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the visual culture that developed around \u003ci\u003eLa Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e, including paintings, illustrations, and advertisements. Enrique Fernández examines \u003ci\u003eLa Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e as a mixed-media text, incorporating methods from disciplines such as art history and women’s and cinema studies, and considers a variety of images including promotional posters, lobby pictures, and playbills of theatrical and cinematic adaptations of the book. Using a visual studies approach, \u003ci\u003eThe Image of Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately illuminates the culture of Celestina, a mythical figure, who surpasses the literary text in which she originated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41271237574753,"sku":"9781487549787","price":56.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35392635_55944b5a-74ca-4721-b189-6fe00f27bbe7.jpg?v=1752772702","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487549787-image-of-celestina","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
