Commentary | "Having finished the grave and burned Chrysostom's papers, they laid his body in it.
Grisóstomo's burial; some shepherds lay his body in the grave while other shepherds, goatherds, Vivaldo, Ambrosio and don Quixote observe the scene. Grisóstomo's figure is highly worth noting; moving scene, with good gestures and expressions. Notice the detail of the burned papers (poems and songs). 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. |
