Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, born in 1547 and passing away in 1616, was a renowned Spanish writer who left an indelible mark on literature. His most famous work, "Don Quixote, " has become an iconic piece of world literature and continues to captivate readers even today. In the early 20th century, an advertisement for the fortifying Globeol featured an illustration inspired by Don Quixote. This depiction showcased the enduring popularity of Cervantes' masterpiece as it continued to inspire creative endeavors across different mediums. The influence of "Don Quixote" extended beyond advertisements; it also found its way into various artworks. In William Hogarth's painting titled "The Innkeeper's Wife and Daughter" from 1764, we catch a glimpse of the characters' vibrant personalities that have enchanted audiences for centuries. Another captivating artwork featuring Don Quixote is Hogarth's oil-on-canvas masterpiece depicting him alongside his loyal companion Sancho Panza. Painted around 1864-65, this piece highlights their unique bond and showcases their adventurous spirit. Hogarth further immortalized scenes from "Don Quixote" with his painting titled "The Curate and the Barber Disguising Themselves to convey Don Quixote Home. " Through this artwork, he captures the humor and wit present throughout Cervantes' novel. One memorable scene depicted by Hogarth is when Don Quixote seizes a barber's basin mistaking it for Mambrino's helmet. Created in 1756, this painting perfectly encapsulates both Don Quixote's delusions and his unwavering determination to uphold chivalry. Sancho Panza also had his moment under Hogarth's brush with "Sancho at the Feast, Starved by his Physician. " This artwork portrays Sancho enduring comical hardships while remaining steadfastly loyal to his knight.
