Don Quixote of La Mancha and Rocinante | Don Quixote Silhouette |

"Don Quixote en La Mancha" The ultimate escapist, the Manchegan Knight trotting off into the Manchegan night. Whether through his books of chivalry or his dillusions or his actual suiting up and venturing into the night in search of giants to slay, foes to vanquish and the love of Dulcinea. I called it "en La Mancha" because the painting is executed by blots and dabs of paint, an assembly of stains. Mancha besides being a place name means stain. ––––––––––– "Don Quijote en La Mancha" El supremo escapista, el caballero Manchego trotando en las vistas Manchegas. Ya sea a través de sus libros de caballería o sus delirios o su aventurarse en la noche en busca de gigantes para matar, enemigos para vencer y el amor de Dulcinea.

Cervantes' novel occupies a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature. Don Quixote's idealism and nobility are viewed as insane, but the book's central ethic, that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong, remains relevant today.

Oil painting, canvas on a stretcher. Varnished. For many connoisseurs and lovers of world literature, Don Quixote's windmills are a symbol of Spain. The mills are located in the province of Castilla-La Mancha.

... and Sancho Panza

"To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe..." sang Richard Kiley during his phenomenal rendition of "Man of La Mancha". That song is quick, yet insightful look into the heart of Don Quixote - a man, that dared to dream.

Being a don Quijote fan, I love anything to do with Quijote and have done several paintings featuring don Quijote, Sancho and other aspects of the novel. This piece is of don Quijote’s fight with the windmills.
