EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a defining moment in the world of bullfighting. Mariano Ceballos, known as "the Indian" demonstrates his extraordinary skill and bravery as he kills the bull from atop his horse. Plate 23 of The Art of Bullfighting, published in 1816, immortalizes this intense scene through a masterful etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes. The image showcases the raw power and danger inherent in this traditional Spanish spectacle. With sword in hand, Ceballos executes a precise lunge towards the charging bull, displaying both grace and precision amidst an enthralled crowd. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as onlookers witness this breathtaking display of courage. Goya's artistic talent shines through in every detail of this engraving. From the intricate depiction of Ceballos' costume to the intensity captured on each face within the audience, it is evident that Goya was not only a painter but also an observer deeply connected to his subject matter. This artwork serves as a testament to both the artistry and cultural significance of bullfighting during its heyday. It transports us back to a time when these events were celebrated for their drama and spectacle while also inviting contemplation about our relationship with animals and notions of bravery. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of one man's triumph over nature's mightiest beast.
