EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled 'Matador making a pass with the muleta (cape) and sword,' is a stunning representation of the traditional Spanish art of bullfighting. The image, created by L. Gomez after an illustration by Daniel Perea, was published in 1894 by Boronat & Satorre in Madrid as part of the 'Bullfight, Corrida del Toros' series. The image showcases a matador, the bullfighter, standing confidently in the center of the ring, his eyes fixed on the charging bull. He skillfully maneuvers the red muleta, or cape, in his left hand, enticing the bull to charge. In his right hand, he holds a sword, poised and ready to deliver a swift and precise blow. The matador's outfit, consisting of a tight-fitting jacket, breeches, and a colorful sash, adds to the vibrant and dramatic scene. The background of the image is filled with the excitement and energy of the bullfight, with onlookers, including picadors and toreadors, watching intently from the sidelines. The use of bold colors and intricate details in the chromolithograph technique brings the image to life, capturing the raw power and passion of this age-old tradition. Bullfighting, or Corrida del Toros, is a deeply rooted cultural practice in Spain that continues to draw visitors from around the world. This chromolithograph is a beautiful and historic depiction of the art and skill required of the matador in this ancient and controversial spectacle.
