EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the renowned Spanish literary figure, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616). Born in Alcalá de Henares, Castile, Cervantes is considered one of the greatest writers in the Western literary tradition. Known for his contributions to the genres of novel, poetry, and drama, Cervantes' works continue to captivate readers around the world. In this portrait, Cervantes is depicted wearing a gorget, a protective collar worn during the 16th and 17th centuries. The engraving also highlights his distinctive moustache and the elegant, ornate collar of his shirt. The image is further enhanced by the intricate details of the crown above his head, symbolizing his status as a celebrated author in the modern age. Cervantes' most famous works include "Don Quixote," a groundbreaking novel that explores the themes of reality, illusion, and the human condition. His poetry and plays, such as "La Numancia" and "La Tragedia de Calisto y Melibea," also showcase his mastery of language and storytelling. Despite facing financial struggles throughout his life, Cervantes' literary legacy endured and continues to inspire generations of writers and artists. This engraving is a testament to his enduring influence and the rich cultural heritage of Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries.
