EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense tradition and spectacle in the history of Spain. Dating back to the 13th century, this miniature from the hymn of Saint Mary depicts bullfighting during the traditional feasts of Plasenza (Plasencia). The Royal Library of the Escorial Monastery in Spain houses this remarkable piece by an unknown artist. Intriguingly illuminated, the image showcases a scene filled with both excitement and danger. A bull charges fiercely in an arena, its powerful presence commanding attention. This ancient custom brings together spectators who eagerly witness this clash between man and beast. The depiction raises questions about violence and leisure, as well as cultural customs that have endured for centuries. Bullfighting has long been associated with Spanish heritage, representing bravery, skill, and tradition. However, it also sparks debates regarding animal welfare. As we gaze upon this historical artwork captured by Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported to another time – the Middle Ages – where such spectacles were not only accepted but celebrated. It serves as a reminder that our understanding and appreciation of traditions evolve over time. This print invites us to contemplate our relationship with animals and how cultural practices shape our society's values throughout history.
