Description: Don Quixote is a novel by Miguel de Cervantes (1605) and is a modern classic novel. The main character, Don Quixote, a chivalrous knight, is also very flawed and impractical. One of the most famous stories is Don Quixote's fight with windmills. He sees windmills and believes they are giants; when he rides to fight with them, he is knocked off his horse. Sancho tells him they are only windmills. Don Quixote does not believe this and is sure a magician changed windmills into the giants to hurt him.

Description: "Don Quixote en La Mancha" The ultimate escapist, the Manchegan Knight trotting off into the Manchegan night. Whether through his books of chivalry or his dillusions or his actual suiting up and venturing into the night in search of giants to slay, foes to vanquish and the love of Dulcinea. I called it "en La Mancha" because the painting is executed by blots and dabs of paint, an assembly of stains. Mancha besides being a place name means stain. ––––––––––– "Don Quijote en La Mancha" El supremo escapista, el caballero Manchego trotando en las vistas Manchegas. Ya sea a través de sus libros de caballería o sus delirios o su aventurarse en la noche en busca de gigantes para matar, enemigos para vencer y el amor de Dulcinea.
