EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the raw energy and danger of the traditional Spanish bullfighting event, with the matador deftly executing the daring maneuver known as "salta tras cuernos" or "the leap over the horns." Dating back to the late 19th century, this image showcases the skill and bravery of the matador as he leaps out of the bull's charging path, using his cape to manipulate the animal's charge. The bull, with its powerful muscles and sharp horns, is depicted in mid-dive, adding to the sense of tension and excitement in the scene. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the viewer into the heart of the bullring, making this an unforgettable and captivating work of art. The matador's focused expression and the bull's fierce determination create a visual narrative that speaks to the rich history and cultural significance of bullfighting in Spain. This illustration is a testament to the enduring allure of this controversial and passionate tradition.
