EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "La Celestina" from 1883. The image transports us back to the 16th century in Barcelona, Spain, where this iconic literary masterpiece was born. Underneath the shade of a majestic tree, we witness Calixto and Melibea engaged in an intense conversation, their emotions palpable even in this static portrayal. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of Fernando de Rojas' tragicomedy, depicting the complex relationship between these two characters. Calixto's yearning for love and Melibea's hesitations are evident through their facial expressions and body language. This scene is a pivotal moment in the story as it highlights the role of La Celestina, who acts as a go-between or matchmaker for these star-crossed lovers. Preserved within the library of the University of Barcelona, this engraving serves as a testament to its enduring significance in Spanish literature. Created by Santiago Ortega with meticulous detail and precision, it pays homage to Rojas' timeless work that continues to captivate readers centuries later. As we gaze upon this vertical print with admiration, we are transported into an era filled with passion and intrigue. It reminds us of Catalonia's rich cultural heritage while also celebrating one of Spain's most renowned literary works. This print is not only a visual delight but also an invitation to explore the depths of human emotion through artistry and storytelling.
