EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting, titled "Scene from Don Quixote: Sancho Panza Counts Don Quixote's Teeth" artist John Vanderbank brings to life a moment of both humor and madness from Miguel de Cervantes' iconic novel. Set against a picturesque landscape, we find the eccentric knight-errant Don Quixote seated on his horse, while his loyal servant Sancho Panza leans in with a quizzical expression. The focus of the scene? Counting teeth. With meticulous brushstrokes, Vanderbank captures the absurdity and charm of these beloved literary characters. Don Quixote's armor glimmers under the sunlight as he gazes into the distance with an air of delusion. Meanwhile, Sancho Panza assumes the role of both servant and confidante, dutifully examining his master's teeth with an expression that oscillates between concern and bemusement. This whimsical portrayal not only highlights the comical nature of their adventures but also hints at deeper themes within Cervantes' work. It explores notions of identity, perception, and sanity through its depiction of two individuals navigating a world filled with illusions. Displayed at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in California, this artwork invites viewers to delve into one of literature's most enduring tales while marveling at Vanderbank's skillful technique. As we observe this peculiar dental examination amidst nature's beauty, it serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us beyond
