EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Jules David, we witness a whimsical scene from Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's timeless masterpiece, Don Quixote. The image depicts the delusional knight-errant mounted on his trusty steed, mistakenly mistaking innocent sheep for formidable knights. With an air of determination and chivalry, Don Quixote charges forward, his lance poised to pierce through what he believes to be armored adversaries. Oblivious to the reality that surrounds him, our valiant hero remains steadfast in his quest for glory and honor. Jules David's intricate detailing brings this comical yet poignant moment to life. From the expressions on the sheep's faces as they scatter in confusion to the intensity etched upon Don Quixote's features, every element contributes to the narrative powerfully. This illustration serves as a testament not only to Cervantes' genius but also to the enduring appeal of Don Quixote himself. It reminds us of our own capacity for imagination and how it can both inspire greatness and lead us astray. As we gaze upon this print captured by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported into a world where dreams clash with reality and where even ordinary creatures can become symbols of grandeur. It is a visual reminder that sometimes it takes madness or folly to challenge conventions and embark on extraordinary adventures.
