EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and spectacle of a mass bullfight in an enclosure. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus, this illustration is part of the renowned Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium series that depicts various hunting scenes. In this particular image, we witness a thrilling display of bravery and skill as riders on horseback engage in combat with ferocious bulls. The arena is filled with spectators eagerly watching the action unfold. The matadors wield lances and spears while their loyal dogs assist them in subduing the powerful beasts. The atmosphere is charged with adrenaline as horses gallop across the ring, their riders poised to strike at just the right moment. The audience holds its breath as each attack unfolds, captivated by both the danger and artistry displayed before them. Bullfighting has long been a controversial blood sport that stirs strong emotions among its supporters and critics alike. This engraving offers us a glimpse into a past era when such spectacles were celebrated for their excitement and entertainment value. As we study this image closely, we are transported back to 17th-century Europe where bullfights were not only seen as sporting events but also symbolic displays of power and courage. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history – from admiration to exploitation. Overall, this striking artwork invites us to reflect on our evolving attitudes towards animal rights while appreciating it for its historical significance within the realm of sportsmanship and cultural heritage.
