Commentary | "My name is Cardenio...".
Five different scenes about Cardenio's life as told by himself to don Quixote, Sancho and the goatherd in Sierra Morena: Cardenio with Luscinda since they are children; Cardenio with Luscinda when they have already grown up; Luscinda's father forbids Cardenio from entering in his house; Cardenio writing love letters for Luscinda; and Cardenio asking Luscinda's father for the hand of her daughter in marriage. Remarkable and carefully-done narrative composition. Good variety of figures, gestures and expressions. 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. |
