Commentary | Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante accompanied by Sancho on his donkey.
Image of remarkable personal style influenced by some of the main European Art movements during the 1930s, as late Expressionism and Surrealism; the image loses realism to become more expressive, but also oniric, evocative and suggestive (don Quixote and Sancho in Sierra Morena? a mountain on the left beside Sancho? a high castle wall on the right beside don Quixote? who are the figures in the foreground?). |
Notes | 1 - Placed in chapter 25:1, the illustration does not seem to refer to it explicitly. |
