The Picador - Francisco Ramos - Active Late XIX Early XX

Gilt wood frame molded with foliage patterns. Dimensions without frame: 22.5 x 14.5 cm, with frame: 28 x 21 cm Spanish painter, he was active in Spain in the last decade of the 19th century and early 20th century. He focuses on painting scenes from the daily life of southern Spain, with an always precise line and a very luminous palette of colors. The Picador is a horse fighter. He waits for the moment to meet the bull, posted to the left of the toril's door, armed with a long spear. He is the first to suffer the attack of the bull throughout the first tercio. Like the Toreador, the Picador wears a richly embellished silk chaquetilla (jacket) and fresh butter tanned skin panties. To go further: www.lestresorsdegamaliel.com/gallery-item/le-picador-attend/
