EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Pepe Hillo making the pass of the recorte" is a remarkable piece from Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes' renowned series, The Art of Bullfighting. Published in 1816, this print showcases Goya's exceptional talent in capturing the intensity and grace of bullfighting. In this particular scene, Pepe Hillo, a skilled matador, executes a flawless maneuver known as the pass of the recorte. With precision and agility, he evades the charging bull with an elegant sidestep while maintaining complete control over his body movements. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique; you can almost feel the energy emanating from Pepe Hillo as he engages in this dangerous dance with death. Goya's portrayal not only captures the physicality but also conveys deeper emotions associated with bullfighting – bravery, fearlessness, and respect for both man and beast. This artwork serves as a testament to Goya's ability to capture raw human emotion through his masterful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this exquisite print today, we are transported back to 19th-century Spain when bullfighting was at its peak popularity. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with culture and history – allowing us glimpses into different eras through visual storytelling. This rare gem from Bridgeman Images' private collection is truly a treasure for any art enthusiast
