EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a color engraving from 1870 depicting a Torero, or bullfighter. The image takes us back to the vibrant and intense world of bullfighting in the 18th century Spain. The torero stands tall and proud, adorned in his traditional attire that reflects both elegance and bravery. Dressed in an exquisite cape that billows around him, the torero exudes confidence as he prepares to face off against the mighty beast. His clothing is meticulously detailed, showcasing the artistry involved in creating such garments during this time period. The engraving captures every fold and crease of his dress with precision. The vertical composition adds drama to the scene, emphasizing the height and stature of both man and animal. In one hand, he holds a sword - his weapon of choice for this dangerous dance between life and death. Although we do not know who created this masterpiece, it has found its place within a private collection belonging to Santiago Ortega. This print serves as a reminder of how bullfighting has evolved over time while still maintaining its allure as an integral part of Spanish culture. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving, we are transported to another era - witnessing firsthand the skill, courage, and spectacle that define bullfighting throughout history.
