"Don Quixote in his Library" is an illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of a series of artworks for an 1863 edition of Miguel de Cervantes's seminal work, "Don Quixote." Doré, known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations, was commissioned to bring to life the adventures of the iconic character of Don Quixote, a nobleman obsessed with chivalric romances who sets out to revive knighthood and bring justice to the world.

This particular illustration captures the moment where the protagonist, Alonso Quixano, who later assumes the name Don Quixote, is depicted surrounded by books in his library. The image conveys the atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and the overwhelming influence that literature has on the character's psyche, ultimately leading to his decision to become a knight-errant. Doré's mastery of light and shadow, along with his intricate line work, emphasizes the cluttered and chaotic state of the room, reflecting the disarray in Don Quixote's mind.

The artwork is a fine example of Doré's ability to convey narrative through visual art, and it has been widely appreciated for its contribution to the visual interpretation of classic literature. "Don Quixote in his Library" not only serves as an important piece of the book's iconography but also stands as a testament to Doré's artistic legacy and his impact on the field of illustration. The image has been reproduced in numerous editions of "Don Quixote" and remains one of the most recognizable depictions of the character, encapsulating the themes of idealism, madness, and the transformative power of reading.
