EDITORS COMMENTS
This Art Nouveau poster announces the Paris premiere of Jules Massenet's opera "Don Quichotte," produced in 1910. Created by the renowned French artist Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (1859-1938), this color lithograph showcases the iconic figure of Don Quixote, the noble and delusional knight-errant, atop his trusty steed, Rocinante. With a flowing cape and lance held high, Don Quixote gazes off into the distance, lost in his dreams of chivalric adventure. The background of the poster is adorned with intricate, swirling patterns and delicate floral motifs, typical of the Art Nouveau style. The title of the opera, "Don Quichotte," is elegantly written in bold, flowing script, while the subtitle, "Opéra en quatre actes," is written in smaller, more understated text. The date and location of the premiere, "15 Février 1910, Opéra National de Paris," is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster. Rochegrosse's design for the "Don Quichotte" poster is a testament to the artist's mastery of the Art Nouveau style and his ability to capture the essence of Massenet's opera. The image of Don Quixote, a symbol of romanticism and the pursuit of the impossible dream, is a fitting representation of the opera's themes and continues to captivate audiences today. This rare and beautiful poster is a valuable addition to any collection of fine art images, opera memorabilia, or graphic design. Its vibrant colors and intricate details make it a stunning work of art that transports us to the world of Don Quixote and the magic of the Parisian opera scene in the early 20th century.
