EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by the renowned French artist Paul Gustave Doré (1832-1883) depicts the iconic character Don Quixote engrossed in chivalric novels, deep in thought, inside the National Library of Madrid. The image is taken from Doré's illustrations for the preface of the first part of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's timeless novel "Don Quixote of La Mancha," published in 1863. The vibrant colors and intricate details of Doré's illustration bring the interior of the Spanish library to life, with sunlight streaming in from the upper right corner, casting a warm glow on the ancient tomes and the introspective figure of Don Quixote. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the literary hero, whose imagination transforms the mundane world around him into a realm of chivalric adventure. The vertical composition, with Don Quixote positioned near the center of the image, draws the viewer's eye to the intricately detailed bookshelves and the richly decorated interior of the library, further emphasizing the depth and complexity of the literary world that Quixote inhabits. Doré's illustration is a visual testament to the enduring power of literature to transport us to new realms of imagination and understanding.
