EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry "Story of Don Quixote" by Lefebure, skillfully crafted by Gobelins and displayed in the majestic Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome. The tapestry, dating back to the 18th century, beautifully captures the essence of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. In this remarkable artwork, we are transported into the enchanting world of Miguel de Cervantes' famous literary masterpiece. The central figure is none other than Don Quixote himself, a symbol of chivalry and idealism. Standing tall with his trusty lance in hand, he embodies courage and determination as he embarks on his noble quest. Beside him stands Sancho Panza, his loyal squire and faithful companion. Together they traverse through various adventures that test their resolve and challenge societal norms. This dynamic duo represents an enduring friendship built on mutual respect and shared aspirations. The tapestry also features an array of vibrant characters from Cervantes' novel - both male and female - each playing a significant role in shaping Don Quixote's journey. Their presence adds depth to the narrative while highlighting themes such as love, honor, madness, and dreams. Surrounding these figures are intricate details depicting still life elements like fruit-laden trees intertwined with festoons that evoke a sense of abundance and fertility. These vegetal compositions further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this magnificent piece. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Alinari Fratelli during the early 20th century (circa 1920-1930), we cannot help but marvel at how artistry transcends time. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning centuries – from its biblical influences to its distinct Renaissance-Baroque styles. This print invites us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this extraordinary tapestry but also encourages us to delve deeper into the timeless story of Don Quixote, a tale that continues to captivate
