espanolEn este trabajo se exploran los vinculos potenciales entre Celestina y la reinterpretacion tardomedieval del concepto clasico de la imago agens. Por un lado, examina los grabados correspondientes a las muertes de los personajes principales y los compara con algunos ejemplos de imagineria religiosa de la epoca que admiten ser interpretados desde este punto de vista. Por otro, pone en relacion las macabras descripciones verbales de estas mismas muertes con la funcion ejemplar y moralizante que las imagines agentes desarrollaron durante la Baja Edad Media. Por ultimo, analiza la importancia de la violencia, tanto en la descripcion textual como en la representacion visual de estas muertes, para concluir que tuvo que desempenar una funcion didactico–moral. EnglishThis article explores the potential links between Celestina and the late medieval reinterpretation of the classical mnemotechnic concept of imago agens. On the one hand, it analyses the woodcuts corresponding to the deaths of the main characters and compares them with some examples of late medieval religious imagery that exemplify the technique of the imago agens. On the other, it connects the macabre descriptions of these deaths to the exemplary moral function that imagines agentes developed during the late Middle Ages. Finally, after examining the importance of violence in such textual and visual depictions of death, it concludes that it must have had been intended with a moralising function in mind.
