EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the life of renowned Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. In 1580, Cervantes found himself held captive by Turkish pirates, his future uncertain and bleak. However, fate intervened when he was purchased by the Fathers of the Redemption, a religious order dedicated to rescuing Christian captives. The image showcases the historical significance of this event as it captures Cervantes being saved from captivity by these noble clerics. The vibrant colours bring to life the emotions and drama surrounding this extraordinary rescue mission. Cervantes' face reflects both relief and gratitude as he is embraced by one of the Fathers of the Redemption. This powerful visual representation highlights not only his physical liberation but also symbolizes his spiritual redemption. As one gazes upon this engraving, they are transported back to 16th-century Spain, where religious orders played an essential role in society. It serves as a reminder that even during tumultuous times, faith and compassion can prevail over adversity. Miguel de Cervantes went on to become one of Spain's most celebrated writers, best known for his masterpiece "Don Quixote". This print immortalizes a crucial chapter in his life story while paying homage to those who selflessly worked towards freeing him from captivity.
