Антикварная скульптура «Don Quichote» («Дон Кихот»)

Antique sculpture of the cult hero of Miguel de Cervantes' book. Don Quixote is the most famous character in Spanish literature. This image has repeatedly inspired the creators of visual art. This model was created by the French sculptor Jacques Louis Gautier in 1831. The author was a participant of the Paris salons. In 1855, the sculptor presented the sculptures "Don Quixote" and "Mephistopheles" which were an allegory of two opposites - good and evil. The presented sculpture is made of spiatta in the technique of artistic casting in the early twentieth century. The work of art is executed in the Mannerist style, the character's features are somewhat hyperbolic, and the silhouette is elongated.
