EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1696, titled "Don Quichotte and Sancho ride past a smithy which they think is the entrance to hell" we are transported into the fantastical world of Miguel de Cervantes' iconic characters. Don Quichotte, the valiant knight errant, and his faithful squire Sancho Panza can be seen on horseback as they cautiously pass by a bustling smithy. The scene is filled with vivid imagery that captures their wild imagination. The blacksmith's forge emits billowing smoke and sparks, creating an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of the fiery depths of hell. Don Quichotte's fervent belief in chivalry leads him to perceive this ordinary smithy as a gateway to damnation, while loyal Sancho Panza looks on with both curiosity and skepticism. Caspar Luyken and Pieter Mortier skillfully bring this moment to life through intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow. The burning fires within the forge cast an otherworldly glow upon our protagonists' faces, emphasizing their awe-struck expressions. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of Cervantes' literary masterpiece. It reminds us that even in their delusions, Don Quichotte and Sancho Panza continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
