The artwork titled “Don Quijote” was created by the artist Jose Guadalupe Posada. This piece is part of the Modernismo art movement and falls under the genre of caricature.
The artwork showcases a skeletal figure, presumably representing Don Quijote, riding a skeletal horse. Both the rider and the horse are depicted in dynamic motion, with the rider brandishing a lance. Surrounding them are numerous smaller skeletal figures in various states of activity and chaos, contributing to a scene filled with movement and energy. The exaggerated and stylized portrayal characteristic of caricature is evident, creating a dramatic and somewhat whimsical interpretation of the classic figure.
