Donkey Horseman (German: Eselreiter) is a 1913 painting by German Expressionist artist August Macke, notable for its vibrant color palette and dynamic composition that reflects the influence of Fauvism and Cubism on the artist. The painting is a part of Macke's exploration of the harmony between humans and nature, a theme recurrent in his work during this period. It depicts a lone figure riding a donkey, set against a stylized landscape that is rendered with bold, flat areas of color and simplified forms.

Macke was a member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group of artists based in Munich that sought to express spiritual truths through their art, often through the use of intense color and non-naturalistic representation. In Donkey Horseman, Macke combines his interest in the depiction of everyday life with the avant-garde artistic developments of the time, creating a work that is both accessible and formally innovative.

The painting's composition is characterized by a sense of rhythm and movement, achieved through the interplay of color and shape. The donkey and rider are portrayed in a simplified manner, with the surrounding landscape broken down into geometric forms that echo the contours of the figures. This approach reflects Macke's interest in the Orphism of artists like Robert Delaunay, where color becomes a primary means of expression.

Donkey Horseman is considered an important work in Macke's oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to early 20th-century modernism before his untimely death in World War I. The painting is held in high regard for its innovative approach to form and color, as well as its embodiment of the joy and optimism that characterized much of Macke's work prior to the war. It remains a significant piece for the study of German Expressionism and the broader context of European modernist movements.
