EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print captures a pivotal moment from Miguel Cervantes' timeless masterpiece, "Don Quixote de la Mancha". In this scene, one of the fugitives named Gines de Passamont cunningly steals Sancho Panza's trusty donkey while both travelers are lost in slumber. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the essence of 17th-century Spain and the literary genius of Cervantes. The artist, Gustave Dore, skillfully translates Cervantes' words into visual form with his precise lines and shading techniques. Every stroke tells a story, emphasizing the contrast between light and dark as well as capturing the emotions depicted on each character's face. Dore's woodcut after drawing perfectly encapsulates the essence of this iconic scene. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that moonlit night in Spain. We witness Gines de Passamont's audacity as he quietly takes advantage of Sancho Panza's vulnerability. This stolen donkey symbolizes not only an act of thievery but also represents the challenges faced by Don Quixote and his loyal squire throughout their adventurous journey. Through Stefano Bianchetti's careful preservation and presentation of this artwork, we are reminded once again why "Don Quixote" continues to captivate readers worldwide. It is a testament to Cervantes' brilliance as a writer and Dore's artistic prowess that such scenes continue to
