EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore depicts a poignant moment from Miguel de Cervantes' renowned novel, Don Quixote. The image showcases the titular character, Don Quixote, extending his hand to the beautiful Dorothea as he declares, "I am yours this moment, beautiful Dorothea: see, I give you here my hand to be yours". Dore's masterful artistry brings this scene to life with intricate details and emotive expressions. The intensity of Don Quixote's gaze reflects his unwavering devotion towards Dorothea, while her delicate features exude both surprise and tenderness. Through their intertwined hands, we witness a symbolic gesture of commitment and surrender. The illustration was created for an edition of The History of Don Quixote published in the late 19th century. It is part of a private collection but has been digitally cleaned and scanned at high resolution to allow for large-scale reproduction if desired. Gustave Dore was a highly acclaimed French artist known for his exceptional talent in capturing literary scenes through visual storytelling. In this particular artwork, he successfully encapsulates the essence of Cervantes' timeless tale - love's transformative power amidst the whimsical adventures of an idealistic knight-errant. This print serves as a testament to both Cervantes' enduring narrative and Dore's remarkable artistic prowess. It invites viewers into a world where chivalry meets romance—a realm where dreams are pursued against all odds—and reminds us that true love knows no boundaries or limitations.
