EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Knight of the Mirrors was hurried, in spite of himself, over his horse's crupper" takes us on a thrilling journey into the world of Don Quixote. Created by Paul Hardy, this artwork is part of a private collection and showcases an intense moment from Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's iconic novel. In this scene, we witness the valiant knight errant charging forward on his trusty steed amidst a fierce jousting tournament. Clad in traditional armor with intricate mesh detailing and plate armor, he epitomizes chivalry and honor. The knight's lance is poised for combat as he prepares to clash with his opponent. However, fate has other plans for our hero as depicted in this dramatic image. Despite his best efforts to maintain control over his horse - Rocinante - the Knight of the Mirrors finds himself unexpectedly propelled over its crupper. This unexpected turn adds an element of surprise and vulnerability to the narrative. Hardy masterfully captures both action and emotion through dynamic lines and meticulous attention to detail. The intensity of the battle scene is palpable as these brave warriors confront each other head-on. Through this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the adventures and quests that have made Don Quixote one of literature's most enduring characters. It serves as a reminder that even heroes face challenges they cannot always overcome but continue their pursuit nonetheless.
