About this work

Overview

Apeáronse junto á la fuente is a color lithograph on wove paper created by Célestin Nanteuil around 1855. The print depicts a serene scene of figures gathered near a natural water source.

Subject & Meaning

The scene illustrates a moment from Don Quixote, where travelers rest and eat by a rocky stream. The figures are engaged in quiet activities, with one man gesturing as if speaking, while others look on or rest nearby.

Technique & Style

Nanteuil employed loose, sketchy lines to convey a sense of naturalness and spontaneity. The use of color lithography allowed for a soft, nuanced rendering of the landscape, with trees and distant terrain fading into the background.

History & Provenance

Célestin Nanteuil was a French artist associated with the Romantic movement, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and later working in the studio of Dominique Ingres. He went on to hold prominent positions, including Director of the Académie des beaux-arts and curator of the Musée des beaux-arts in Dijon.
