1605 Ceremony Cervantes Duchess Enchanted Ghostly Magic Masquerade Quixote Sees
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled 'Quixote - Masquerade: The Masquerade of the Duke and Duchess - He Sees Dulcinea, Enchanted by Magic,' is a captivating print from the 17th century, first published between 1605 and 1615. The enigmatic Spanish literary figure, Don Quixote, portrayed here, is the creation of the renowned author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Don Quixote, a nobleman grown old and disillusioned with life, sets out on a chivalric journey to restore romance and honor to a world he believes has lost its way. In this scene, he attends a masquerade ball, held by the Duke and Duchess, in search of his beloved Dulcinea. The ghostly figure of Dulcinea, veiled and enshrouded in mystery, is revealed to Quixote amidst the festivities, enchanting him with her ethereal beauty. The intricately detailed print captures the essence of the magical moment, as Quixote, lost in his delusional world, is transported by the enchantment of the masquerade and the belief that he has finally found his beloved. The elaborate costumes, the opulence of the setting, and the air of mystery that surrounds the figures all contribute to the dreamlike quality of the scene. This historical print offers a glimpse into the rich and imaginative world of Don Quixote, a literary masterpiece that continues to captivate readers more than four centuries after its publication. The intricate details and the sense of wonder that permeate the image make it a fascinating and enchanting addition to any collection of historical prints or literary art.
