Spanish school; end of XVIII century. "Don Quixote". Wood and polychrome tinplate. It presents damages caused by xylophagous. Measurements: 38 x 16 x 9 cm. Sculpture made in wood and tinplate representing Don Quixote perorating, characterized with naturlism and success in his noble and naive temperament. The face is bony and stylized, with a trimmed beard that lengthens his oval. The theme of Don Quixote was very much approached in the 18th century, already from a clearly contemporary point of view, far from the comic vision popularized by the French in the previous century. The works fall within the framework of the rise of regionalism during the second half of the 18th century and the first third of the 19th century. This period saw the development of an art of romantic heritage, costumbrista and of realistic and meticulous workmanship, which focused on the representation of subjects, themes and characters that reflect a new sense of folklore. In this context, the painters sought to reflect the types and customs of their own land, which made it different and unique, thus vindicating their own roots and, above all, the traditions and ways of dressing and behaving that were threatened by the notable growth of urban areas and the imposition of new fashions brought from outside. Art, fundamentally in its pictorial aspect, thus becomes in a certain way a vehicle of expression capable of making regional peculiarities known to the rest of the nation. It presents damages caused by xylophagous.
