EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes, titled "The way in which the ancient Spaniards hunted bulls on horse-back in the open country" takes us back to a time when bullfighting was not just a spectacle but an art form. Published in 1816 as part of his series "The Art of Bullfighting" this print showcases Goya's mastery in capturing the intensity and grace of this traditional Spanish sport. In the foreground, we see a fearless horseman charging towards a raging bull with his spear raised high. The tension is palpable as both man and beast engage in this dangerous dance. Goya's intricate lines and shading bring life to every muscle and sinew, emphasizing the raw power of these majestic creatures. Beyond them lies an expansive countryside, bathed in warm hues that evoke the vibrant spirit of Spain. This setting serves as a reminder that bullfighting originated from rural traditions where bravery and skill were tested against nature's mightiest creatures. Goya's artistic prowess shines through this etching, showcasing his ability to capture movement, emotion, and cultural significance within one frame. It is no wonder why he remains one of Spain's most celebrated painters even centuries later. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when bullfighting was more than mere entertainment; it was an integral part of Spanish heritage - an art form that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
