Commentary | Don Quixote fallen on the ground with Rocinante raising his hand to protect himself from the errant knights charging against him.
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's dreams or nightmares). |
Notes | 1 - Placed in chapter 37:1, the illustration does not seem to refer to it explicitly; it suggests more chapter 64:2 (don Quixote defeated by the Knight of the White Moon). |
