Don Quixote 

This wood engraving, "Don Quixote," is by the French artist Gustave Doré, renowned for his illustrations of literary classics. Doré's depiction of the titular character in the novel, a delusional but ultimately sympathetic knight-errant, is full of dynamism and a sense of theatrical drama, as the figures are caught in moments of action, conversation, and physical struggle. Doré's work is instantly recognizable for its rich detail and expressiveness, capturing the essence of the story with both humor and pathos. Doré’s illustration is a perfect example of the Victorian era's fascination with romantic literature and its use of engravings to disseminate these stories to a wide audience.
