英文维基的介绍非常简略,我去看了西班牙文的,也差不多。可以看出他并非一流的大师,可能插图作品比较有名
在全套插图的网站上有如下介绍,关于《唐吉珂德》插图的详情是:大概1860左右开始绘制,终其一生都在进行这项工作,计划把塞万提斯的每一段名句都用画面表现出来,但到1903年逝世时,只完成了137幅(第一章到第七章的 I)和552幅草图(到第38章的I)。后其兄弟代为完成。
José Jiménez Aranda (Sevilla, 1837 – Sevilla, 1903): History and genre painter. Jiménez Aranda began his art instruction at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sevilla, where he was admitted thanks to his remarkable drawing skill. He made his debut in 1864, being awarded an honorific mention at the National Exposition of Fine Arts of Madrid in 1866. In 1868, he traveled to Madrid, where he could study Goya and Velázquez’ works at the Prado Museum. Then, in 1871, he also traveled to Rome, where he remained until 1875. In Rome he met Mariano Fortuny, whose influence on Jimenez’ painting was notable. In 1881 he settled in Paris, where he remained for nine years painting scenes set in the 18th century, becoming very successful. In 1890, settled again in Madrid, he would change the subjects of his works, beginning to paint genre scenes. After 1892, year of the death of his wife and his daughter, José Jiménez settled finally in Sevilla; here, he was appointed member of the Academy of Fine Arts and he also became a professor of its school in 1897. Some of his most remarkable works are Un lance en la plaza de toros (1880), Una desgracia (first medal in the National Exposition of 1890) and Una esclava en venta. Jiménez Aranda began to illustrate Don Quixote around 1860 and he continued elaborating illustrations (sketchings) along his whole life in Madrid, Rome, Paris, Sevilla... He intended to illustrate every single remarkable phrase of Cervantes’ novel, but in 1903, year of his death, he had only finished 137 drawings (for chapters 1-7:I) and 552 sketchings (until chapter 38:I included). His brother, Luis Jiménez Aranda, would finish the illustrations for the first part. José Jiménez Aranda did not only illustrate Don Quixote, but also G. Núñez de Ara’s La Visión del Hermano Martín and Tartarín en los Alpes with great success [Givanel, 266; Benezit VI, 72]
