EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic statue of Don Quixote and his loyal sidekick, Sancho Panza, located in the Plaza de España in Madrid, Spain. Dating back to the 1930s, this statue pays homage to the legendary characters created by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Don Quixote, the noble and chivalrous knight-errant, is depicted in the image with his characteristic helmet, shield, and lance, gazing off into the distance as if in search of his next adventure. By his side stands Sancho Panza, the practical and often exasperated squire, holding a large book and a donkey's ear, a symbol of his unwavering loyalty and devotion to his master. The statue is a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the enduring legacy of Cervantes and his masterpiece, "Don Quixote," which was first published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. The novel is considered a seminal work of Western literature and is renowned for its exploration of reality and illusion, reason and madness, and the complexities of human nature. The statue, which was unveiled in 1935, is a beloved symbol of Spanish culture and history, and a reminder of the power of literature to inspire and captivate generations. The image of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, immortalized in bronze, continues to captivate and delight visitors to the Plaza de España in Madrid, Spain, and beyond.
