The Fortune and Misfortune of a Bullfighter
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that captures the dramatic essence of the bullfighting world. Created by Achille Beltrame, this artwork depicts the legendary Spanish bullfighter Ortega, who narrowly escapes the brutality of his opponents only to face another perilous encounter. In this particular scene, Ortega seeks refuge in Dax, France after evading his enemies. However, fate has other plans for him as he finds himself on the horns of a charging bull during a bullfight in Dax. The powerful creature lifts him high into the air before violently throwing him to the ground and trampling upon him. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on 20th September 1936. It vividly portrays both luck and misfortune experienced by Ortega throughout his career as a matador. The intensity of this moment is heightened by the presence of spectators in the stands who witness this dangerous spectacle unfold. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from the vibrant red cloaks used by toreadors to provoke bulls, to weapons like spears wielded by pikemen ready to intervene if necessary. This artwork serves as a reminder of both bravery and vulnerability within Spain's traditional sport. "The Fortune and Misfortune of a Bullfighter" offers viewers an immersive experience into one man's journey through triumphs and tribulations within an arena filled with adrenaline-fueled excitement.
