Commentary | Doré, again, creates an image about the tale of EL Curioso Impertinente with quite a dark meaning.
This scene nevers happens, but it is something that Anselmo expects to happen; "Escondido, pues, Anselmo, con aquel sobresalto que se puede imaginar que tendría el que esperaba ver por sus ojos hacer notomía de las entrañas de su honra, íbase a pique de perder el sumo bien que él pensaba que tenía en su querida Camila" (34:1). Alselmo, hidden behind a curtain, expects to surprize Camila with her lover, what makes him feel a great pain (the allegory of death). Very interesting image. |
