Plate 20 from the Tauromaquia - The Agility and Audacity of Juanito Apinani in [the ring] at Madrid. 1816
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya takes us back to the heart-pounding world of bullfighting in 19th century Spain. In this scene, we witness the remarkable agility and audacity of Juanito Apinani, a renowned acrobat turned toreador. The image transports us to a bustling bullring, where danger lurks with every move. With his body suspended mid-air on a pole, Juanito defies gravity as he leaps over an enraged bull charging towards him. His acrobatic prowess is awe-inspiring, showcasing both physical strength and mental fortitude. Goya's masterful use of shadow adds depth and intensity to the composition, heightening our sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. We can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins as we witness this daring performance unfold before our eyes. However, beneath the surface excitement lies a darker theme - animal cruelty. Bullfighting has long been controversial due to its inherent violence towards animals. Goya subtly raises questions about tradition versus compassion within this centuries-old spectacle. As we gaze upon this print from "La Tauromaquia" we are reminded not only of Goya's artistic genius but also prompted to reflect on societal values surrounding entertainment and ethics throughout history.
