Plate 29 of the Tauromaquia - Pepe Illo Mastering the Art of Recorte
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, captured by Francisco Goya in 1816, showcases a defining moment in Spanish bullfighting history. The image depicts Pepe Illo, a renowned bullfighter of his time, executing the daring pass of the recorte with unparalleled precision. In this etching, Goya skillfully captures the intensity and danger that permeate every aspect of this blood sport. The sheer power and grace of both man and beast are evident as they engage in this centuries-old tradition within the confines of a grand bullring. Pepe Illo's clothing reflects both style and functionality - an embodiment of his occupation. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this historical scene while emphasizing its inherent cruelty towards animals. Despite its controversial nature, bullfighting remains deeply ingrained in Spain's cultural heritage; it is simultaneously revered for its artistry yet criticized for animal cruelty. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork today, we are reminded not only of Francisco Goya's artistic genius but also prompted to reflect on our evolving attitudes towards entertainment involving animals. This thought-provoking piece serves as a testament to human fascination with danger and spectacle throughout history – an enduring concept that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
