Don Quichot op de bruiloft van Kamacho 1770

"Don Quichot op de bruiloft van Kamacho" (1770) is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist known for his detailed and expressive works. This print depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote," showcasing the titular character, a knight-errant, interrupting the wedding of Camacho. The scene is rendered in a dramatic yet humorous style, with Don Quixote, mounted on his steed, raising his hand in a gesture of defiance. The etching captures the energy and absurdity of the moment, reflecting the popularity of Cervantes' work in the 18th century. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Chodowiecki's mastery of depicting narrative scenes with sharp detail and evocative expressions.
