EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giuseppe Bernardino Bison's famous artwork, "Don Juan, The Duel". Painted with watercolors on paper, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Civico Revoltella in Trieste, Italy. "Don Juan: le duel" depicts the legendary character of Don Juan, known for his libertine lifestyle and prowess as a swordsman. This Spanish tale originated in the early 17th century with "El Burlador de Sevilla" making it one of the first accounts featuring this enigmatic figure. Over time, renowned writers such as Moliere, George Bernard Shaw (in "Man and Superman"), Byron, Mozart (through his opera "Don Giovanni"), and Baudelaire have all contributed to shaping Don Juan's literary legacy. In this particular scene captured by Bison's brushstrokes, we witness a climactic moment of fatal consequence. Two swordsmen engage in a fierce duel that ultimately leads to tragedy. One combatant lies fatally wounded after being struck by an epee or foil—a testament to the intensity and danger inherent in dueling during the 18th and 19th centuries. Bison masterfully captures both the physicality of combat and the emotional weight carried by these characters through his skilled use of color and composition. As viewers gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of www. bridgemanart. com. , they are transported into a world where legends come alive—where honor clashes with desire and fate hangs precariously on every
