Period: 1750-1800;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: In the foreground, two shepherds dig Grisóstomo’s grave. In the background, Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, Ambrosio, Vivaldo, and the other shepherds are gathered around Grisóstomo’s body. They all look up at Marcela, whom appears at the top of the crag where the grave is being dug. To Vivaldo, her appearance seems to be a marvelous vision. Grisóstomo’s body is depicted like Christ’s in pietà, balancing Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism. Signed by F. Hayman (illustrator) and L. G. Scotin (engraver). Part 1, ch. 14.
