EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 12 from the Tauromaquia: The crowd hamstrings the bull with lances, sickles" takes us back to a time when bullfighting was a widely celebrated tradition in Spain. Created by Francisco Goya in 1816, this etching depicts a scene of intense danger and cruelty within an arena. In this haunting image, we witness the brutal reality of animal cruelty as the crowd mercilessly attacks the majestic bull using various weapons such as lances, sickles, and banderillas. The atmosphere is filled with tension and provocation as both man and beast engage in a deadly dance of life and death. Goya's masterful use of black and white adds to the dramatic impact of this artwork. Every stroke captures the raw emotions present within this blood sport. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are transported to another era where traditions like bullfighting were deeply ingrained in Spanish culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history. It challenges us to reflect on issues surrounding entertainment versus cruelty while also acknowledging that these practices were once considered acceptable forms of entertainment. Displayed proudly at The Met museum, Plate 12 from the Tauromaquia stands as an important testament to Francisco Goya's artistic genius and his ability to capture profound human experiences through his work.
