EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment during a bullfight in Salins-de-Giraud, France, back in 1921. In the midst of the intense spectacle, chaos erupts as a powerful bull unexpectedly plunges into the crowd, causing panic and injuring one unfortunate spectator. The engraving was originally published in "Le petit journal" on April 17th of that year. The image showcases the raw power and unpredictability of these traditional Spanish-style bullfights. It evokes a sense of fear and anguish as spectators scramble to escape harm's way while witnessing this shocking accident unfold before their eyes. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful rendering brings this historical event to life with intricate details and expressive lines. The artist masterfully captures the tension between man and beast, highlighting both the beauty and danger inherent in such spectacles. This artwork serves as a reminder of the risks involved in these controversial cultural traditions. It raises questions about animal welfare and human safety within an arena where violence is celebrated as entertainment. As we gaze upon this striking illustration from our private collection, we are transported back to that fateful day when tragedy struck amidst cheers and applause. It stands as a testament to humanity's complex relationship with animals, provoking contemplation on our responsibility towards them even within longstanding cultural practices like bullfighting.
