Commentary | "Don Quixote asked why this man carried so many more chains then the others".
Don Quixote asks one of the soldiers about Ginés de Pasamonte. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions; notice the detailed figure of a soldier in the background holding a crossbow. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes. 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 - "... dibujos tratados de un modo muy original y moderno, que produce mucho relieve en las figuras y singular efecto en los conjuntos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII). |
