Matador Dedicating the Killed Bull's Tail to the President
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolithograph depicting a pivotal moment in the traditional Spanish spectacle of bullfighting. The image, created by artist Daniel Perea and published by Boronat & Satorre in Madrid in 1894, was later reproduced by E. Calle in this stunning chromolithograph. The scene unfolds in the heart of the bullring, where the matador, dressed in the iconic suit of lights, stands triumphantly over the dead bull. With a solemn expression, he raises the bull's tail high above his head, offering it as a symbolic tribute to the president of the bullfight, who sits regally in the presidential box. The picador, who had initially weakened the bull with lances, and the toreadors, who had entertained the crowd with their agile maneuvers, look on with admiration and respect. The bull's tail, a prized possession, is a testament to the matador's skill, courage, and mastery over the beast. The president, in turn, acknowledges the matador's achievement with a nod, signifying his approval and appreciation for the performance. This moment of dedication serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the matador, the bull, and the audience, as well as the rich cultural significance of bullfighting in Spain. This beautiful chromolithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the passionate and dramatic world of the corrida del toros. It is a testament to the enduring allure of bullfighting, a tradition that continues to captivate and divide opinion, both in Spain and beyond.
