Salvador Dalí's Dulcinea Illustration: An Iconic Depiction from Don Quixote

A Unique Technique and a Powerful Symbol

Salvador Dalí's vision of Dulcinea, the idealized love interest in Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote," is one of his most famous illustrations.

Dalí captured Dulcinea's ethereal beauty using a distinctive technique called "double image," which involves superimposing two images or objects to create a visual illusion.

Despite her absence from the novel, Dulcinea plays a significant role as the embodiment of Don Quixote's romantic aspirations.

Dalí's illustration conveys her as a dreamlike figure, forever unattainable and serving as a constant source of inspiration for the idealistic knight errant.
