1746 1828 Bull Francisco Goya Lances Lucientes Rabble Aisa Banderillas Sickles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print, titled 'The Rabble Hamstring the Bull with Lances, Sickles, and Banderillas,' dates back to 1828 and is an impressive work by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya y Lucientes. The image captures a chaotic scene of commoners, or 'rabble,' attempting to bring down a charging bull during a traditional Spanish corrida, or bullfight. The bull, with its powerful muscles and determined expression, charges forward, its eyes fixed on the crowd of people who have surrounded it. Some in the crowd wield lances, others brandish sickles or long knives, while still others hurl banderillas, small darts tipped with sharp hooks, at the animal. The scene is one of frenzied activity and raw emotion, as the bullfighting tradition brings together the raw power of nature and the daring bravery of the human spirit. The print, which is part of the 'Disasters of War' series, reflects the social and political climate of Spain during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Goya, known for his critical and often provocative depictions of Spanish society, captures the intensity and violence of the bullfighting tradition with unflinching realism. The print is a testament to the enduring allure and controversy of this ancient Spanish tradition, which continues to divide opinion and elicit strong emotions to this day. Originally imported from Spain, this print is a rare and valuable addition to any collection of historical art or Spanish cultural artifacts. Its intricate details, bold colors, and powerful imagery make it a captivating and thought-provoking work of art that is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity in viewers.
