Commentary | Don Quixote and Rocinante fallen on the ground; Sancho kneels beside the knight to help him.
Image of remarkable personal style influenced by some of the main European Art movements during the 1930s, as late Expressionism and Surrealism; the image loses realism to become more expressive, but also oniric, evocative and suggestive; notice the grey silhouette with human shape (a giant imagined by don Quixote attacking him?). |
Notes | 1 - Placed in chapter 40:2, but the illustration does not refer to this chapter. The illustration could refer to different episodes: SP helping DQ after the windmills adventure (8:1), DQ, SP and Rocinante beaten by the yangüeses (15:1)... |
