Title: [Marcella Interrupts Chrysostom's Burial]
Period: 1750-1800;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: After Vivaldo (pictured riding a horse in the background) reads Chrysostom's song of despair as he is set to be buried, Ambrosio gives a eulogy for his shepherd friend, accusing Marcella of causing Chrysostum's death. Vivaldo sets about to read another of Chrysostom's songs but is interrupted by the sight of the shepherdess Marcela (pictured looking down at the burial from a rock), who appeared so beautiful it surpassed all report. Don Quixote (pictured clad in full armour with a lance by his side) was as shocked by her beauty as all other attendees.
