Cervantes (relaxing...)
Blip taken through a space in the rear gate (extra) to the Sculpture Garden.
Extras: 1. Gate #20 The back entrance to the locked sculpture garden.
2. What Cervantes looked like when his head was located in the front of the museum. It really does look like him, if you see it in person. From Wiki Charles Strong’s large-scale bronze sculpture of the well-known Spanish novelist, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, is an example of the sculptor’s exploration of scale, the figure, and monuments. Strong pays homage to the author known for his classic novel Don Quixote. He also experiments with concepts of perspective placing the head of the writer directly on the ground rather than upright, allowing the viewer to see the familiar face of Cervantes from one point of view and a completely abstract work from other points of view.
