EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving of the iconic scene from Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece, Don Quixote. The image depicts the delusional yet valiant knight-errant, Don Quixote, standing tall with his lance raised high. With a determined expression on his face and the sun shining brightly behind him, he declares, "By the sun that shines, I have a good mind to run thee through the body with my lance". Dore's intricate detailing brings this moment to life as we witness Don Quixote's unwavering commitment to chivalry and honor. The artist captures both the grandeur and absurdity of this character who embarks on fantastical adventures in pursuit of justice. The engraving is an illustration for Cervantes' timeless novel, The History of Don Quixote. Published in 1880 by Cassell & Co. , it became one of Dore's most celebrated works. His mastery in capturing emotion through art is evident here as he transports us into the world of Spanish literature. This print not only pays homage to Cervantes' literary genius but also highlights Dore's exceptional talent as an artist. It serves as a reminder of how visual interpretations can enhance our understanding and appreciation for classic works of literature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded once again why Don Quixote continues to captivate readers worldwide - its enduring themes of idealism, courage, and imagination resonate across time and cultures.
