Today, Honoré Daumier's works are found in many of the world's leading art museums, including the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum. He is celebrated for a range of works, including the prodigiously large number of paintings (29) and drawings (49) that he made of Don Quijote, a theme that fascinated him for the last part of his life.
Charles Baudelaire, one of the most important french poets of the 19th century, said about Daumier: 'One of the most important men, I will not say only of caricature, but further of modern art.'
