Goya was fascinated by the deep Moorish roots of Spanish bullfighting at a moment when most of his contemporaries preferred to forget them, and this print makes that history impossible to ignore. It is an etching and aquatint from Francisco de Goya's celebrated series La Tauromaquia, made in Spain in 1816 and printed in 1876, plate number six of thirty-three. Two figures in Moorish dress and turbans occupy the left side of the arena, one standing back while the other leans forward and sweeps a dark burnous cloak low to the ground, drawing a charging black bull toward them from the right, its head dropped and forelegs braced against the sandy floor, a long cast shadow anchoring the scene in a deep, smoky aquatint ground. Goya's Tauromaquia was the first serious attempt to document the full history of bullfighting as a cultural institution, and this plate is among its most pointed arguments, insisting that the spectacle Spaniards called their own was shaped fundamentally by centuries of Moorish influence.

Goya made this print when he was in his late sixties, profoundly deaf, and increasingly disillusioned with Spain, yet he channeled an almost visceral energy into capturing the split-second choreography between a man and a charging bull. It is an etching and aquatint from Goya's celebrated Tauromaquia series, created in Spain in 1816 and printed in this impression in 1876. In the lower centre of the composition, a lone figure in dark cape and hat leans into the bull's path, the animal lunging forward with its head dropped low and its white face catching the only sharp light in the scene, while a loosely sketched crowd watches from a balustrade high at the top of the plate. The aquatint ground gives the vast open arena an atmospheric, almost smoky tonality that isolates the two figures in a way no painted crowd scene could, making the encounter feel both monumentally public and utterly solitary.

Francisco de Goya was nearly seventy years old, profoundly deaf, and living under political repression when he produced this print, part of his celebrated "Tauromaquia" series, a project that let him examine Spanish popular culture with the unflinching eye of someone who had seen too much of human folly to romanticize any of it. This is an etching with aquatint by Goya, made in 1816 and printed in 1876 in Spain, plate 19 from the Tauromaquia series. In the arena, a bull charges low and hard into a draped table or barrier at the center of the composition, while a figure balanced on top of it arches dramatically backward, arms raised, caught in a moment of desperate or theatrical equilibrium, with a fleeing figure to the left and a cluster of onlookers standing calmly to the right against the pale, open sand of the ring. The title "Another Madness of his in the Same Ring" suggests this depicts an actual historical eccentric, a performer or daredevil whose stunts were notorious enough to be recorded, and Goya's masterful use of aquatint creates a charged contrast between the shadowy crowd and the bright, exposed ground where the danger plays out.

Goya engraved this plate to document a real death, the fatal moment when the picador José Delgado Rendon was gored in the Madrid bullring, preserving a specific tragedy within a series meant to chronicle the full spectacle and brutality of bullfighting. It is an etching and aquatint by Francisco de Goya, plate 28 from his "La Tauromaquia" series, originally created in 1816 in Spain and printed in this edition in 1876. The composition captures a surge of violent motion at its centre, where a charging bull drives into a rearing dark horse while a picador leans forward with his lance, a capeador in a broad-brimmed hat reaches in from the right, and a figure is thrown or stumbling at the bull's left flank, with a packed crowd rendered in dense dark hatching across the background and smaller figures scrambling over the barrier at the right. "La Tauromaquia" is one of Goya's great print series, and this plate is among its most historically grounded images, rooting the spectacle in documented fact and giving the bullfight the weight of a chronicle rather than mere entertainment.

Fitzgerald deemed the work “damn good” but cautioned that it didn’t find its stride until page 29.

“You can’t play with people’s attention,” he advised Ernest Hemingway. “A good man who has the power of arresting attention at will must be especially careful.”

Will someone please tell these people as well as those involved in rodeos, bullfights, etc. what century they’re living in??? Many will make the “tradition” argument, but it doesn’t take an encyclopedic knowledge of history to know that many “traditions” of the past have been rightfully abandoned.

I can remember when, as a young man in Chicago, I watched televised bullfights from Mexico until the coup ‘de grace.
Could hardly accept that this still was something that happened in ‘59.
The baseball was cool though. Different days and different times and different channels.
