"Don Quixote in his Study" - from a painting by Schrodter, 1860. M. Schrodter's...influence upon the arts of his country will, doubtless, be considerable, filling as he does the offices of Professor at the Academy at Frankfort and at the School of Dusseldorf. One of...[his] most famous pictures in the Royal Collection at Berlin is that of "Don Quixote in his Study"...In the attitude and expression of the knight of the woful [sic] countenance, in the intentness with which he devours the visionary lore in the old tome which he holds open before him, we discern much of that peculiar tendency to mystic and suggestive treatment which we find in Albert Durer, and which, not unnaturally, is still indulged in by his successors in the same school. The study, which is but faintly lighted through a small, deeply-recessed wall, is strewed with other volumes, together with portions of the knight's armour, in "most admired disorder." Close at his hand is his lance, ready for use on the first chivalrous impulse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

Don Quixote in his Study,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating painting by German artist Moritz Daniel Oppenheim Schrödter, created in 1860, showcases the legendary knight in a moment of deep introspection. Commissioned by King William I of Prussia, this masterpiece is now part of the Royal Collection in Berlin. Schrödter, who held esteemed positions at the Academy in Frankfurt and the School of Dusseldorf, left an indelible mark on German art. In this painting, Don Quixote is depicted in his study, engrossed in an ancient tome, his face etched with a pensive, almost melancholic expression. The dimly lit room, with its recessed walls and scattered volumes and armor, adds to the mystic and suggestive atmosphere. The knight's lance lies close at hand, ready for action at a moment's notice. Schrödter's interpretation of the iconic character is reminiscent of the mystic and evocative style of Albert Durer. The artist masterfully captures the knight's dedication to his chivalric code, as he delves into the pages of his book, seeking wisdom and guidance. The disarray of the study, with its most admired disorder, further emphasizes Don Quixote's single-minded devotion to his quest. This painting is a testament to Schrödter's artistic prowess and his ability to breathe new life into the timeless tale of Don Quixote.
