Unknown Man thought to be Don Quixote de la Mancha, c.1630, Oil on Canvas

This marvelous painting by an Anonymous Spanish Artist from Spain’s Golden Age displays the mixing of Flemish form, Italianate flair, and Iberian soulfulness that marked the best portraiture of the period. Some scholars believe the subject is the fading knight Don Quixote, of Cervantes’s timeless satirical novel, published less than twenty years before this artwork’s likely creation.
