Artwork Description:
Miguel de Cervantess great 17th century novel tells the story of the farcical Don Quixote who sets out on a series of illusory chivalrous quests, mounted on his emaciated horse Rocinante and accompanied by the witness squire Sancho Panza. Bacon scholar Martin Harrison, who first recognised the importance of Fischers correspondence with Soby, has written of Daumiers Don Quixote: To gaze at this great painting is comparable to experiencing a slightly scaled-down Bacon of the 1950s, pointing out how the subdued palette and loose brushwork of Daumiers painting is echoed in Bacons work. Bacon may have also have felt an affinity for Daumiers bleak representation of the tragicomic figures from Cervantess novel.
