Don Quixote in His Study

Artist: Jose Moreno Carbonero
Artwork: Don Quixote in His Study
Description: This painting depicts the famous scene from Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote, where the delusional protagonist, a retired country gentleman named Alonso Quijano, has lost his mind from reading too many chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant, taking the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He is accompanied by his peasant neighbor Sancho Panza, who serves as his squire. In this scene, Don Quixote is shown in his study, surrounded by books, with a quill pen in his hand and a dreamy expression on his face, imagining himself as a valiant knight about to embark on a grand adventure.
