EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Feasts of Saint George, patron of the city of Alcoy. Sketched by Gustave Dore in 1862 during his trip to Spain with Ch. Davillier, this engraving beautifully illustrates a lively street scene filled with joy and music. In the center of the image, a drummer passionately beats his drum, setting the rhythm for the festivities. A guitarist stands nearby, skillfully strumming his instrument and adding melodic notes to the air. The crowd surrounding them is immersed in celebration, their faces reflecting pure happiness as they dance and revel in this momentous occasion. The energy depicted in this scene is palpable; it transports viewers back to that time when these feasts were held annually. The tambourine player adds an extra layer of excitement as her swift movements create a whirlwind effect around her. Gustave Dore's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this engraving - from capturing each musician's expression to showcasing traditional Spanish attire worn by dancers. This print truly encapsulates not only a specific event but also reflects Spanish culture at its finest. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Dore's artistic talent and provides us with a glimpse into history - reminding us how art has always been intertwined with our cultural celebrations.
