Don Quixote in His Study
1857

The MET
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collect...

This carefully staged tableau was among the most widely admired Victorian photographs. Price self-consciously sought to elevate the still-new medium to the level of "high art" by emulating the ambitious literary subjects, expressive gestures, and period details of grand history painting. Although this approach was largely overshadowed in subsequent years by one that championed qualities unique to photographic vision, theatrical staging has found renewed relevance in the work of many contemporary artists.

Don Quixote

1893
Oil on canvas
111.0 × 156.0 cm
The National Gallery of Victoria
https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/co...


In nineteenth-century France the reading of popular fiction was thought to carry particular risks. The perils of falling prey to romantic delusions were hilariously illustrated by ‘Don Quixote de la Mancha’, the anti-hero of Miguel de Cervantes’ 1615 novel. Enraptured by stories of knights Don Quixote decides to abandon his role as a country gentleman to embark on a life of adventure. Demont here reinforces Quixote’s delusional state by painting a virtual cavalry in the clouds, a vision Quixote shares with the viewer, but perhaps not his squire Sancho Panza, and his horse who quietly grazes undisturbed by the charging forces above.

William Stewart Watson
(1800 - 1870)

William Stewart Watson was born in 1800 and died in Edinburgh in 1870. His style seems based on the work of his contemporary Sir William Allan, a successful Royal Academy painter. Stewart Watson is said to have practised for some years in America, but he was in Rome in 1840 and in London between 1843 and 1847, after which he settled in Edinburgh where he remained for the rest of his life. The artist's favourite subjects were portraits and history paintings. In addition to painting, Stewart Watson often used other techniques and materials such as ink, watercolour, chalk and charcoal. He is also known as a miniature painter.
