EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century drawing by Jean-Honore Fragonard, titled "Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Witness the Attack on Rocinante," offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's literary masterpiece, "Don Quixote." The scene depicts the eponymous protagonist, Don Quixote, and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, witnessing the attack on Rocinante, their horse, by a group of assailants. Fragonard masterfully captures the essence of the Rococo era with his delicate use of black chalk, gray and brown wash on laid paper. The drawing is imbued with a sense of drama and tension, as Don Quixote, clad in his knightly attire, bravely shields his horse with his lance, while Sancho Panza, with a worried expression, looks on. The use of brown wash adds depth and texture to the scene, creating a sense of authenticity and realism. This drawing is a testament to the enduring influence of Cervantes' work on European culture. The image is a beautiful illustration of the literary classic, and a reminder of the rich artistic and literary heritage of the 18th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, literature, or European culture. This drawing is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a popular attraction for visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the timeless stories and characters that have shaped our collective cultural heritage.
