EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "Two teams of picadors thrown one after the other by a single bull" is a powerful depiction of the intense and dangerous world of bullfighting. Published in 1816 as part of Goya's renowned series, The Art of Bullfighting, this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing both the physicality and emotional intensity of this traditional Spanish spectacle. In plate 32, we witness a dramatic moment where two teams of picadors are violently thrown off their horses by a single raging bull. The sheer force and aggression displayed by the animal is palpable, as it challenges its opponents with unwavering determination. Goya masterfully portrays the chaos and danger inherent in this ancient tradition through his intricate etching technique. The composition evokes a sense of tension and vulnerability as each picador faces imminent peril while attempting to maintain control over their mounts. This image serves as a reminder that even skilled professionals can be humbled by nature's raw power. Goya's work often delves into themes such as death, gore, and human struggle against formidable forces. With this piece, he invites us to contemplate not only the bravery required for such an endeavor but also questions our relationship with animals in blood sports. As one gazes upon this historic print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it becomes evident why Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes remains one of Spain's most celebrated artists. His ability
