"Don Quixote and Sancho Panza" is a renowned painting by Sir John Gilbert (1817–1897), an English artist known for his prolific work in painting and illustration. The artwork is a visual interpretation of the iconic characters from Miguel de Cervantes' seminal novel "Don Quixote," which is considered one of the greatest works of fiction ever written. The novel, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, follows the adventures of the titular character, an aging gentleman who becomes obsessed with the chivalric romances he reads and sets out to revive knighthood under the self-assumed name of Don Quixote. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote embarks on a series of comical and often misguided quests that satirize the romantic ideals of the age.

Gilbert's painting captures the essence of the relationship between the idealistic and delusional Don Quixote and the earthy, skeptical Sancho Panza. The artwork is notable for its dynamic composition and the way it conveys the contrasting personalities of the two characters. Don Quixote is typically depicted as gaunt and dignified, often wearing a makeshift suit of armor, while Sancho Panza is portrayed as a more grounded figure, sometimes riding a donkey and providing a foil to his master's grandiose visions.

As an artist, Sir John Gilbert was highly regarded for his historical and literary scenes, and his work on "Don Quixote and Sancho Panza" is a testament to his ability to bring literary characters to life through visual art. His interpretation of Cervantes' characters has been celebrated for its insight into the human condition and the enduring appeal of the novel's themes.

The painting is part of Gilbert's broader body of work, which includes illustrations for Shakespeare's plays and other literary classics. His contributions to the visual arts have been recognized with numerous accolades, including his election as President of the Royal Watercolour Society and his knighthood in 1872. "Don Quixote and Sancho Panza" remains a significant piece in the study of literary art and continues to inspire interest in the visual representation of classic literature.
