Don Quixote 

Gustave Doré's "Don Quixote" is a dramatic illustration depicting a scene from the novel. The image portrays the titular Don Quixote, a chivalrous knight errant, confronting a group of hooded figures in a dark forest. The composition uses stark contrasts of light and dark, emphasizing the mysterious and otherworldly atmosphere. This scene, from the second part of Miguel de Cervantes' novel, is a powerful example of Doré's ability to capture the spirit of literary works through his distinctive style of graphic art. Doré's signature detailed and dramatic imagery contributed greatly to the lasting visual legacy of this famous novel. This print is characteristic of the 19th-century trend of artists illustrating popular novels.
