Plate 27 - Dona Rodriguez, a Surprising Encounter in the Night
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bernard Picart, we are transported to the enchanting world of Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece, Don Quixote. The scene unfolds within the intimate confines of a bedchamber, where Dona Rodriguez finds herself engaged in an unexpected conversation with the valiant knight himself. As candlelight casts its gentle glow upon their faces, we witness Dona Rodriguez's astonishment as she is suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the Duchess' ladies. Their presence adds an element of surprise and intrigue to this clandestine rendezvous. Picart's meticulous etching and engraving technique beautifully captures every detail - from the intricate headgear adorning Dona Rodriguez's head to her expressive hand gestures that convey both curiosity and disbelief. Meanwhile, Don Quixote stands tall and resolute, his spectacles perched on his nose symbolizing his unwavering dedication to chivalry even in these unconventional circumstances. This 18th-century French artwork not only pays homage to Cervantes' literary genius but also showcases Picart's mastery as an artist. Through his skillful use of light and shadow, he transports us back in time to a moment filled with suspense and anticipation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and artistry. It invites us into a world where imagination knows no bounds – where knights roam freely under moonlit skies while surprising encounters unfold behind closed doors.
