Subject: Spanish romances; Celestina (Fictitious character); Calisto (Fictitious character); Sempronio (Fictitious character); Pármeno (Fictitious character); Servants; Robes; Veils
Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: Italy; Venice (Italy); Republic of Venice
Description: In the centre of the illustration, we see Celestina wearing a robe and a veil. There are two male figures to the left and one to the right. In Act V, Celestina and Sempronio talk to one another while travelling to Calisto’s house, and Calisto talks with Pármeno at home. It is not until Act VI that the four of them are in the same room. Thus, the scene depicted here has no relation to Act V.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts IV (folio 32r), VI (folio 45r), VIII (folio 62r), X (folio 74r), XIII (folio 93v), XV (folio 102r), and XVII (folio 109r).]
