🎨 Don Quixote in the Mountains, c. 1850
by Daumier 🇫🇷
oil on panel, 39.6 cm x 31.2 cm
Artizon Museum, Japan
Aboriginal the artwork:
In this artwork, Daumier depicts Don Quixote, armed with a lance and shield, riding his white horse Rocinante, with his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, following on a donkey. The painting is characterized by its dark tones, with the red of the saddle and the horse’s mouth standing out, creating a striking visual contrast.
Daumier, who is also renowned for his lithography and satirical political and social cartoons, started creating oil paintings around 1848. His fascination with the character of Don Quixote led him to produce a series of oil paintings, watercolors, and sketches based on scenes from the novel. "Don Quixote in the Mountains" is a fine example of Daumier's skill in capturing the spirit of Cervantes' work and is currently housed at the Bridgestone Museum of Art in Japan.
