The Knighting of Don Quixote
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and captivating illustration that brings to life the iconic scene from Miguel de Cervantes' timeless novel, "Don Quixote of La Mancha". Created by Walter Crane in 1900, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the story with its intricate details and vivid colors. In this scene, we witness the comical yet poignant moment when Don Quixote is being knighted by an innkeeper. The gallant knight-to-be kneels before him, his armor gleaming in the sunlight as he eagerly awaits his dubbing. The innkeeper, a stout figure with a mischievous grin on his face, holds up a sword ready to perform the ceremonial act. Surrounding them are various characters who observe this peculiar event with amusement. A female onlooker can be seen bursting into laughter while others watch in awe or curiosity. Their presence adds depth to the narrative and highlights the humor that permeates throughout Cervantes' masterpiece. Crane's artistic style shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the whimsy and grandeur of this literary moment. From Don Quixote's determined expression to the intricately designed shield at his side, every detail contributes to creating an engaging visual experience for viewers. This print serves as a testament to both Crane's talent as an illustrator and Cervantes' enduring legacy as one of literature's greatest storytellers. It invites us into a world where imagination knows no bounds
