1
00:00:03,310 --> 00:00:07,790
The majority of the people think that Cervantes was a genius of literature

2
00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:10,609
and his masterpiece is Don Quixote de la Mancha.

3
00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:15,849
But what lots of people don't know is that Cervantes also was a painter.

4
00:00:16,469 --> 00:00:20,609
But he signed his paintings with a pseudonym, Lucian Freud,

5
00:00:20,989 --> 00:00:23,570
because of his hidden love of the Germanic culture.

6
00:00:24,609 --> 00:00:29,670
However, he sold some of his paintings as he drew some interesting people in the time.

7
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:34,850
The most mysterious ones are a pair called the crazy and the sane.

8
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:38,729
The curious fact about them is that they aren't finished.

9
00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:40,789
They are only colored in the center.

10
00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:44,490
The rest is still a sketch by charcoal drawing.

11
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:50,310
Some researchers have revealed that behind them this is a date and a message written by him.

12
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:52,890
1604

13
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:54,689
And the message is

14
00:00:54,689 --> 00:01:03,109
I hope that your honor will delight with this revelation and that your honor will conserve it until your soul goes to God.

15
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:06,329
Because I will do the same, but by words.

16
00:01:07,209 --> 00:01:08,290
M.C.

17
00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:15,469
Some experts in history and literature have lots of theories about this, but they are all wrong.

18
00:01:16,049 --> 00:01:20,049
What the paintings are showing is something that is transcendental in history.

19
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:24,849
The paintings are two portraits about Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

20
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:28,349
Cervantes wanted to draw them for his family,

21
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:33,849
for them to have a remember of him and the passion that he had on these two characters.

22
00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:39,170
The paintings were stolen before they were finished in his house in Madrid.

23
00:01:39,909 --> 00:01:43,230
And you, people that are reading this, would say,

24
00:01:43,810 --> 00:01:48,670
well, why this person knows all these things that expert doesn't?

25
00:01:48,670 --> 00:01:52,049
because I am who painted them

26
00:01:52,049 --> 00:01:53,409
and this is my secret

27
00:01:53,409 --> 00:01:56,549
I am Miguel de Cervantes
