A new exhibition responding to Cervantes’ Don Quixote de la Mancha comes to Birmingham this April.

Tilting at Windmills runs at The Courtyard Gallery in Solihull from Wed 8 Apr – Sat 25 Apr. Initially inspired by the marvellous engravings of Gustav Doré in an illustrated edition of the famous book, Tom Ranahan has invited thirteen other artists to join him on a visual adventure in response to Cervantes’ masterpiece.

Though written in the early 17th century in Spain, the themes raised by the novel are certainly still resonant today, capturing humour, comic situations, perceptions of reality and morality in a cynical world, all themes which are uniquely explored throughout the collection of works.

The exhibition is free to visit. For more information, click here.
