1746 1828 Bull Francisco Goya Lucientes Teams Thrown Aisa Picadors
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print, titled "Two teams of picadors thrown one after the other by a single bull," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created in 1828. The image is taken from plate 32 of Goya's famous series "The Bullfight," which provides a detailed and often unflinching depiction of the traditional Spanish spectacle. In this particular scene, we witness the daring exploits of a solitary picador, who stands before a charging bull with unwavering determination. The picador, dressed in the traditional attire of a tight-fitting jacket, breeches, and a wide-brimmed hat, brandishes a long lance in one hand and a small shield in the other. As the bull charges, the picador skillfully thrusts the lance into the animal's shoulder muscle, weakening it for the matadors who will follow. But what sets this print apart is the unique twist that Goya adds to the scene. Instead of the usual practice of having one picador for each team, we see two teams of picadors being thrown into the arena one after the other by this single, fearless man. This innovative composition not only highlights the bravery and skill of the picador but also adds an element of chaos and excitement to the scene. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his intricate attention to detail, bring this moment to life in a way that transports the viewer to the heart of the bullfighting arena. This print is a testament to Goya's unparalleled artistic vision and his ability to capture the raw energy and passion of this centuries-old tradition.
