EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Doré's famous engraving titled "He charged the squadron of sheep". The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by Doré, a renowned French artist from the 19th century. The engraving is an illustration for Miguel de Cervantes' iconic novel, "Don Quixote" published in Cassell around 1880. In this particular scene, Don Quixote, the protagonist of the story, fearlessly charges towards a group of sheep as if they were enemy soldiers. This comical moment perfectly captures Don Quixote's delusional belief that he is a knight errant on a noble quest. Doré's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to bring characters to life through his art make this piece truly remarkable. The high-resolution scan and digital cleaning have ensured that every intricate element can be appreciated even at large sizes. Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece has had an enduring impact on literature and continues to inspire readers worldwide. Through Doré's artistic interpretation, we are reminded of the humor and imagination found within this timeless tale. This print not only celebrates Doré's exceptional talent but also pays homage to one of the greatest works in Spanish literature. It serves as a testament to both artists' contributions to their respective fields and invites viewers into the whimsical world of Don Quixote.
