About the Item

This Alabaster portrait of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616, show to the observer a typical vision of the Spanish writer with distinguishing feature of the epoca ( the typical collar of the shirt and the buttons) and with the tribute of the greatness of the character with the laurel crown on the head. Widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his novel Don Quixote, a work often cited as both the first modern nove and one of the pinnacles of world literature. No authenticated image of Cervantes exists. He wanted a now-lost portrait by Juan de Jáuregui used as a frontispiece of his Exemplary Novels. Since the publisher would not pay for the engraving this would require, Cervantes supplied in its place a description of himself: ...This person whom you see here, with an oval visage, chestnut hair, smooth open forehead, lively eyes, a hooked but well-proportioned nose, and silvery beard that twenty years ago was golden, large moustache, small mouth, teeth not much to speak of, for he has only six, in bad condition and worse placed, no two of them corresponding to each other, a figure midway between the two extremes, neither tall nor short, a vivid complexion, rather fair than dark, somewhat stooped in the shoulders, and not very lightfooted... Starting in the ancient Egypt and consolidated in Europe, in Tuscany the use of alabaster in sculpture was very usual until the beginning of the 20th Century especially for the grand tour production. The Grand Tour was the 17th- and 18th-century custom of a traditional trip through Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a chaperone, such as a family member) when they had come of age (about 21 years old). The custom — which flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s and was associated with a standard itinerary — served as an educational rite of passage. Though the Grand Tour was primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry, similar trips were made by wealthy young men of other Protestant Northern European nations, and, from the second half of the 18th century, by some South and North Americans.
