EDITORS COMMENTS
Don Quixote and Rosinante" is a captivating watercolour and bodycolour drawing by the renowned English artist, Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897). This exquisite artwork depicts the legendary character Don Quixote de la Mancha, the noble and eccentric knight-errant from the eponymous novel by Miguel de Cervantes, and his loyal steed, Rosinante. Don Quixote, dressed in his distinctive suit of armour, gazes intently into the distance, his expression a blend of determination and madness. His white hair, flowing in the wind, adds to the air of otherworldliness that surrounds him. In his hand, he clutches a lance, ready for his next chivalric adventure. By his side stands Rosinante, the noble steed, whose coat is adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, reflecting the magical and mystical elements of the story. Rosinante's ears are pricked forward, and his eyes are alert, mirroring the intensity of his master's gaze. Sir John Gilbert's masterful use of colour and shading brings the scene to life, creating a sense of depth and texture that draws the viewer in. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns on Don Quixote's armour and the textured details of Rosinante's coat. This beautiful drawing is a testament to the enduring power of the story of Don Quixote and the magic of Sir John Gilbert's artistry. It invites us to imagine the adventures of this legendary knight and his faithful steed, and to be transported to a world of chivalry, magic, and romance. Sir John Gilbert was a prolific artist, known for his illustrations of literary and biblical subjects, as well as his portraits and genre scenes. His work was widely admired for its technical skill and emotional depth, and this drawing of Don Quixote and Rosinante is a prime example of his artistic prowess.
