Historicity of an image

Summary/Abstract: In a same pictural theme may the imagination in great advance anticipate on the level of what Kant calls the idea of reason; even if the field seems to be strictly a theological one. This capacity of anticipation reveals the plasticity and historicity of our productive imagination, i.e. a much larger vastitude and creativity of the metaphor in contrast to the conceptual domain.
