EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic scene from Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's timeless masterpiece, "Don Quixote". Illustrated by Jules David in 1887, this image brings to life the whimsical and delusional nature of the novel's protagonist. In this illustration, Don Quixote, a self-proclaimed knight-errant, is seen bravely charging towards a group of windmills. Mistakenly perceiving them as menacing giants, he valiantly engages in combat with his trusted steed by his side. The intricate details of Don Quixote's armor showcase both his determination and madness as he fights against imaginary adversaries. Jules David skillfully portrays the essence of Cervantes' literary creation through this engraving. The vibrant colors used in this artwork add depth and intensity to the scene while capturing the spirit of Spain during that era. As an imaginary character brought to life on paper, Don Quixote embodies both heroism and folly. This illustration serves as a visual representation of his unwavering belief in chivalry and adventure despite living in a world that has long forgotten such ideals. Stefano Bianchetti's expert photography beautifully preserves this historical piece for future generations to appreciate. It reminds us not only of Cervantes' genius but also highlights how literature can transcend time and continue inspiring readers across centuries.
