This print shows a scene from Massenet’s opera Don Quichotte. It’s by Fortunino Matania, an Italian artist, from 1912. The medium is a print, so it’s a single image meant to be shared widely. The opera scene features a windmill, a detail that might remind you of Don Quixote’s famous tilting at windmills. The print came from a magazine called The Sphere that same year. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints by Matania.
