Don Quixote 

This wood engraving, "Don Quixote," by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes' famous novel. The dark and dramatic illustration features Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's faithful squire, discovering a grove of trees laden with the bodies of hanged men. This dramatic scene, typical of Doré's style, captures the novel's themes of chivalry, delusion, and the harsh realities of the world. The use of dark shadows and stark contrasts heightens the suspense and evokes a sense of unease, reflecting the novel's complex and often unsettling themes.
