EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the comical scene from Miguel Cervantes' renowned novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha. Entitled "Sancho and the Knights" this engraving by Heliodore Joseph Pisan captures the essence of humor and adventure that permeates throughout the story. In this particular moment, we witness Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's loyal squire, surrounded by a group of knights. With his round shield held high and a perplexed expression on his face, Sancho finds himself in an amusing predicament. The caption perfectly encapsulates his bewilderment as he exclaims, "March! quoth Sancho, How do you think I am able to do it?". Gustave Dore's masterful interpretation brings these characters to life with intricate details and expressive lines. Each knight is uniquely portrayed with their own exaggerated features adding to the overall comedic effect. The image transports us into Cervantes' whimsical world where chivalry meets absurdity. It serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of Don Quixote's adventures and how they continue to captivate audiences even centuries later. Displayed in a private collection, this enchanting print offers viewers a glimpse into one of literature's most beloved tales while showcasing Dore's artistic brilliance. A true gem for any art enthusiast or lover of classic literature alike.
