| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho encounter some windmills; don Quixote, believing them to be giants, challenge them (notice his gesture) while Sancho tries to convince him of the truth (notice his gesture too).
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. Notice also the perfect use of shading. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
