EDITORS COMMENTS
Pepe 'GOYA y LUCIENTES' (1746-1828): A Moment Frozen in the Art of Bullfighting - Plate 29 of "The Art of Bullfighting" This etching, titled "Pepe Hillo making the pass of the recorte," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created in 1816, this image is part of the extensive collection housed at the National Library in Madrid, Spain. The scene portrays a pivotal moment in the traditional Spanish art of bullfighting. Pepe, the matador, is shown in the act of making the "pass of the recorte," a critical maneuver where the matador passes the sword horizontally in front of the bull's horns. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the etching bring the energy and intensity of the bullring to life. Goya, a pioneer in modern art, masterfully captures the raw emotion and drama of the event. The etching's horizontal composition adds to the sense of movement and action, drawing the viewer into the scene. The use of color, particularly in the red and white of the matador's costume and the bull's coat, adds depth and contrast to the image. Pepe's focused expression and the determined look in the bull's eyes create a tension that is palpable. The etching serves as a testament to the skill and bravery of the matador and the raw power of the bull. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Spain, as well as for art enthusiasts who appreciate the mastery of Goya's work. The National Library in Madrid is home to an extensive collection of Goya's works, including this remarkable etching. A visit to this cultural institution offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich artistic heritage of Spain and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of bullfighting.
