EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving of Don Quixote, accompanied by a thought-provoking quote: "According to the laws of arms, you really injure yourselves, in thinking yourselves affronted". The image captures the essence of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's iconic character and his timeless struggle between reality and imagination. Dore's intricate artwork beautifully portrays Don Quixote as he stands tall with his trusty lance in hand. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing viewers to appreciate every stroke of the artist's brush. This piece not only pays homage to Cervantes' masterpiece but also highlights Dore's exceptional talent as an artist. The quote itself holds profound meaning within the context of Don Quixote's story. It challenges our perception of honor and pride while questioning the consequences of our actions when driven solely by perceived slights or offenses. Through this engraving, Dore invites us to reflect on how we often harm ourselves more than others through misguided notions of dignity. As we delve into this 19th-century artwork, we are reminded that literature has no boundaries; it transcends time and place. Don Quixote continues to inspire readers worldwide with its exploration of human nature and its enduring relevance centuries after its publication. This print serves as a testament to both Cervantes' genius storytelling and Dore's artistic prowess. It allows us to immerse ourselves in their world while contemplating deeper philosophical questions about identity, perception, and self-inflicted wounds caused by our own beliefs.
