Commentary | "... whom he perceived and recognized,...".
In Sierra Morena, Ginés de Pasamonte, hidden among some trees, observes don Quixote and Sancho. Very original illustration and composition. 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 - "... composiciones de un aspecto nuevo, en fondos abruptos, generalmente sitios en que la luz apenas llega, dorando, en cambio, los picos de las montañas" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII). |
