EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "A picador is unhorsed and falls under the bull" transports us to the intense world of bullfighting in 19th-century Spain. Created by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, a renowned Spanish painter and artist, this artwork captures a pivotal moment of danger and bravery. In plate 26 of his iconic series "The Art of Bullfighting". Goya masterfully depicts the perilous encounter between man and beast. The picador, mounted on horseback with lance in hand, finds himself at the mercy of a charging bull. With astonishing detail and skillful use of light and shadow, Goya brings this dramatic scene to life. As we gaze upon this print, our hearts race alongside the fallen picador's as he faces imminent danger beneath the powerful hooves and horns of his adversary. The tension is palpable; death seems inevitable. Yet amidst this chaos, there is an undeniable beauty in Goya's artistry that draws us deeper into the spectacle. Goya's portrayal not only showcases his technical prowess but also raises profound questions about humanity's relationship with animals and our willingness to confront mortality for entertainment. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has always been a reflection of society's values and contradictions. This remarkable etching from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both Goya's genius as an artist and his ability to capture raw emotions within one frame. It invites us to contemplate themes such as courage, mortality
