Commentary | "Such was the confusion, that the guards, now rushing at the galley slaves who were breaking loose, now to attack Don Quixote,...".
The galley slaves begin to release themselves while don Quixote attacks the guards. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions; well-resolved action. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details. 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). |
