EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork of Francisco de Goya, titled "El celebre Fernando del Toro, barilarguero, obligando a la fiera con su garrocha" (The celebrated Picador, Fernando del Toro, Draws the Fierce Beast on with His Pique). Created in or before 1816, this masterpiece is an etching that combines burnished aquatint, drypoint, and burin techniques. Goya's exceptional talent shines through as he captures the intensity and drama of a bullfighting scene. The central figure depicted is none other than the celebrated picador himself - Fernando del Toro. With his skillful use of his pique (a long lance), Del Toro fearlessly provokes and taunts the fierce beast before him. The intricate details in this print highlight Goya's mastery as an artist. From the texture of Del Toro's clothing to every stroke depicting the wild animal's strength and fury – it is evident that Goya poured his heart into this creation. As we admire this first edition impression from Liszt Collection without any commercial intentions in mind, we are transported back to a time when bullfighting was not only a sport but also an art form deeply ingrained in Spanish culture. This image serves as a testament to Goya's ability to capture both beauty and brutality within one frame. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece for its historical significance and artistic brilliance while acknowledging Francisco de Goya's lasting impact on the world
