EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore depicts a pivotal moment in Miguel de Cervantes' iconic novel, Don Quixote. The image showcases the eponymous character's unwavering determination and indomitable spirit as he faces an imminent fall from his horse. As the viewer gazes upon this scene, it becomes evident that had it not been for the secure fastening of a rope around his wrist, Don Quixote would have inevitably hit the ground. Dore's masterful artistry brings to life the essence of this literary masterpiece, capturing both its humor and profound themes. Through intricate details and meticulous brushstrokes, he transports us into a world where chivalry and imagination collide with reality. The engraving is part of a private collection but has been digitally cleaned to allow for reproduction at large sizes if desired. It serves as a testament to Dore's immense talent as an artist during the 19th century. Don Quixote remains one of literature's most enduring characters—a symbol of idealism and resilience in the face of adversity. This print invites us to reflect on our own struggles and reminds us that even when we are on the verge of falling, there may be unseen forces keeping us tethered to hope. Through this artwork, we are reminded once again why Cervantes' timeless tale continues to captivate readers across generations—its ability to inspire introspection while simultaneously entertaining with its wit and charm.
