EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense world of bullfighting in 1891 Madrid. The image captures a dramatic moment during a bullfight, where Francisco Montes, the renowned Spanish matador, has encountered an unfortunate accident. As we gaze at this wood engraving from 1850, we are transported into the heart of the action. The scene unfolds within the grand arena as spectators anxiously watch on. In the center ring, Montes stands tall with his sword in hand, ready to face off against a powerful and formidable bull. The tension is palpable as both man and beast engage in this age-old sport that combines skill, bravery, and danger. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as Montes finds himself injured by the charging bull. This split-second captured by the artist freezes time and allows us to witness this perilous encounter forever etched onto paper. Intriguingly detailed with every stroke of ink on wood grain, this historic print showcases not only a thrilling sporting event but also provides insight into Spanish culture during that era. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained bullfighting was within society – an art form that simultaneously captivated and divided opinions. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's archives, it invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions of tradition versus cruelty while appreciating its artistic value for what it represents - a snapshot frozen in time capturing one man's courageous battle against nature's mightiest
