EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts a scene from the short farce "The Ruffian Widower named Trampagos" (El Rufian viudo llamado Trampagos) by the renowned Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). The image, created in 1868, captures a moment of high drama from this comedic play that was popular during the Spanish Golden Age. In the scene, a ruffian named Trampagos, a widower, is depicted in a heated quarrel with a group of actors and actresses. The Duke, who is also present, looks on in amusement at the spectacle. Trampagos, a rogue and scoundrel, is known for his violent and disruptive behavior. In this instance, he has challenged the actors to a duel, believing that they have insulted him. The engraving captures the tension and excitement of the moment, with Trampagos' aggressive posture and the fear and surprise on the faces of the actors and actresses. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually striking representation of this classic piece of Spanish literature. "The Ruffian Widower named Trampagos" is an entremes, a type of short theatrical piece that was popular during the Spanish Golden Age. It showcases Cervantes' skill as a writer and his ability to capture the humor and drama of everyday life in 17th century Spain. This engraving is a testament to the enduring appeal of Cervantes' work and the rich cultural heritage of Spain during the Golden Age.
