Plate 33 from the Tauromaquia - The Unlucky Death of Pepe Illo in the Ring at Madrid
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a tragic moment in history, frozen forever by Francisco Goya's masterful etching. Dating back to the 19th century, this image depicts an accident that occurred during a bullfighting event in Madrid. The intensity of the scene is palpable as we witness Pepe Illo, a renowned bullfighter of his time, facing imminent danger. In this heart-wrenching moment, he finds himself under attack by a powerful and enraged bull within the confines of the grand arena. Goya's artistry skillfully conveys both the brutality and beauty inherent in this blood sport. The stark contrast between light and dark adds depth to every detail - from Pepe Illo's expression of fear and determination to the ferocity of the charging bull. As we contemplate this image, it raises important questions about animal cruelty and our relationship with nature. It serves as a reminder that entertainment can sometimes come at great cost, leaving behind tragedy and loss. Displayed prominently in museums around the world today, Goya's work continues to provoke thought and reflection on these timeless themes. This photograph print not only captures a significant historical event but also invites us to consider our own role in preserving life while indulging in dangerous pursuits such as bullfighting.
