José Taviel de Andrade (1857 - h. 1920) - Don Quixote de la Mancha
Oil on canvas. Signed with the letters T and A intertwined (Taviel de Andrade) and dated in Roman numerals MDCCCCXX (1920); 110 x 160 cm.
José Taviel de Andrade y Lerdo de Tejada (1857-. 1920) was a prominent Spanish painter and military man who became the personal bodyguard of
José Rizal, national hero of the Philippines.
With an outstanding military career after serving his country in North Africa, he fought against the Carlists in 1876. At the age of 23, he was appointed by the army to the Philippine Islands (1880). Manila, Visayas and Jolo were the places where he served his first peacetime tours, with decorations.
Stationed in Calamba, Taviel de Andrade was entrusted in August 1887 with the delicate task of taking over as José Rizal's personal guardian, a task laden with responsibility, which was to unite the two personalities in a close friendship. Thus, before Taviel's return to Spain in 1888, José Rizal presented him with one of his translated literary works, ‘Sucesos de Morga’. Numerous correspondence between the two attested to this friendship.
In 1891, he returned to Mindanao and Jolo in order to establish a period of pacification, with varying successes in Linamon and Malabang, among other places, which earned him the promotion to Major of Infantry.
Years later he was appointed Military Governor of Zamboanga, after José Rizal was executed in 1896.
On his return to Spain and after a brief period in Cuba, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1906.
This interesting painting shows Don Quixote de la Mancha seated in his friar's armchair, from the back of which hangs his sheathed sword. Surrounding him in disarray are various books of chivalry, some read and others glanced at, where the reader does not seem to find comfort.
The date of the work, 1920, is very interesting, dated in Roman numerals, whereas up to now, general historiography has considered 1910 to be the year of Taviel de Andrade's death.
