Commentary | "But, when Don Quixote perceived that his helmet was broken, he had almost ran mad; and, laying his hand on his sword...".
In a forest, when Sancho is going to heal don Quixote's ear, the knight discovers that his helmet is broken (by the Biscayan) and gets angry. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects. |
Notes | 1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project.
2 - "El bosque es en esta serie un tema tratado con una tendencia pictórica muy hermosa..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIII). |
