Don Quichot 1827 - 1894

"Don Quichot" is a series of twelve prints depicting scenes from the life of the famous literary character, Don Quixote, by artist M. Hemeleers-van Houter, created between 1827 and 1894. The prints are hand-colored and feature a simple, illustrative style, using a limited color palette that emphasizes the key moments in each scene. This particular series of prints was a popular form of storytelling in the 19th century, and Hemeleers-van Houter's work exemplifies the style of the time. The prints can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
