EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Francisco de Goya, titled "La Tauromaquia: The Moors Use Donkeys as a Barrier to Defend Themselves against the Bull Whose Horns have been Tipped with Balls," captures a dramatic moment in bullfighting history. Created between 1815-1816, this piece is part of Goya's renowned series depicting the art and tradition of bullfighting in Spain.
In this particular scene, we see the Moors using donkeys as a barrier to protect themselves from the charging bull, whose horns have been tipped with balls. The tension and energy of the moment are palpable, as both man and beast engage in a primal dance of strength and agility.
Goya's masterful use of aquatint and drypoint techniques brings depth and texture to the image, enhancing the sense of movement and drama. The intricate details in the etching showcase his skill as an artist and storyteller.
As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a centuries-old tradition that continues to captivate audiences around the world. Goya's "La Tauromaquia" series serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Spain's most celebrated artists.
