Commentary | Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante accompanied by Sancho on his donkey; both with their backs to the viewer travelling towards the background; there, in the sky, it appears a female face, as a vision (Dulcinea as guide of don Quixote's adventures?).
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. |
Notes | 1 - Placed in chapter 46:2, but the illustration does not refer to this chapter. |
