EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Royal Bull-Fight at Madrid" takes us back to the vibrant and exhilarating world of 19th-century Spain. The scene is filled with anticipation as spectators gather in the grandstands, eagerly awaiting the start of a thrilling bullfight. The artist, belonging to the English School of that era, skillfully captures every detail - from the ornate architecture surrounding the arena to the intricate costumes worn by both matadors and onlookers. The atmosphere is electric; you can almost hear the roar of excitement mingling with traditional Spanish music. Bullfighting holds a significant place in Spanish culture, symbolizing bravery and tradition. In this print, we witness an event fit for royalty as it was originally featured in The Illustrated London News. It serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained this spectacle was within European society. As our eyes wander through this remarkable image, we notice two distinct sections: 'al sol' (in sunlight) and 'sombra' (in shade). This division represents not only different seating areas but also contrasting emotions - one side basking in warmth and enthusiasm while the other seeks refuge from intense emotions evoked by each daring move made by man against beast. With its rich historical context and artistic finesse, this engraving transports us back in time to experience firsthand one of Spain's most iconic traditions – an enthralling royal bull-fight at Madrid.
