EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing from 1710 depicts the iconic Spanish literary hero, Don Quixote, in all his glory. Created by French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of chivalry and adventure that is synonymous with the character.
In this scene, we see Don Quixote on horseback, clad in his suit of armor as he bravely confronts a bull. The tension between man and beast is palpable as they prepare to clash in an epic battle of wills. The intricate details of the drawing bring to life the spirit of adventure and valor that defines Don Quixote's character.
Surrounded by four people who watch on with bated breath, this illustration transports us back to the 18th century when tales of knights and noble quests captured the imagination of readers across Europe. The composition is dynamic and full of movement, showcasing Watteau's skill at capturing action-packed scenes.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Don Quixote as a symbol of courage and idealism. This timeless depiction serves as a tribute to one of literature's most beloved characters and invites us to join him on his daring exploits.
