"Don Quixote Attacking The Barber To Capture The Basin; Don Quixote Disputing With The Mad Cardenio; And Don Quixote Tilting With The Toledo Merchant" is a series of paintings by the English artist Francis Hayman, illustrating scenes from Miguel de Cervantes's seminal work, "Don Quixote." Hayman, known for his contributions to the decoration of the supper boxes at Vauxhall Gardens and as a founding member of the Royal Academy, created these works as part of a larger series depicting various episodes from the famous Spanish novel.

The paintings capture the comedic and satirical essence of Cervantes's text, portraying the misadventures of the delusional knight-errant, Don Quixote, and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. In the first scene, "Don Quixote Attacking The Barber To Capture The Basin," Hayman depicts the humorous episode where Don Quixote, mistaking a barber's basin for the mythical "Helmet of Mambrino," attacks the unsuspecting barber to claim it as his own. This scene showcases Hayman's ability to convey the absurdity and farcical nature of the protagonist's chivalric fantasies.

The second painting, "Don Quixote Disputing With The Mad Cardenio," illustrates the encounter between Don Quixote and Cardenio, a character driven to madness by love and betrayal. Hayman's interpretation of this scene reflects the novel's exploration of madness and reality, as well as the fine line that separates them.

Lastly, "Don Quixote Tilting With The Toledo Merchant" portrays the episode where Don Quixote demands a group of merchants to acknowledge the beauty of his beloved Dulcinea del Toboso. When they refuse, he attempts to charge at them but is ultimately thwarted. This scene continues to highlight the theme of illusion versus reality and the tragicomic elements that pervade the novel.

Francis Hayman's works serve as a visual companion to Cervantes's text, offering viewers a glimpse into the 18th-century English interpretation of the classic Spanish literature. The paintings are significant for their historical and cultural value, providing insight into the reception and influence of "Don Quixote" in England during the period. They also exemplify Hayman's artistic style, characterized by a blend of Rococo lightness with a distinctly British narrative sensibility.
