Bulfighting Sketches – The Bullfight 1882-1900

‘El dibujo taurino’ brings together a series of sketches of late 19th-century bullfighting art. Ángel Lizcano, José Chaves and Danivel Pera each captured bullfighting in an age that pre-dated photography. Their efforts are now presented in this show, consisting of some 70 works. Organised thematically, the works portray bullfighters, popular customs and anecdotes, a historical retrospective, provincial ‘ferias’ and the role of tragedy in the ring. Accompanying the show is a small section of bullfighting posters from the era.
