Commentary | "... for they took to flight, as well to escape Pasamonte's musket, as the showers of stones the now released galley slaves were raining upon them".
Very remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions; notice the figures of the galley slaves throwing the stones in the background. 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). |
