Modestly enlarged image can be found here, or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.The Death of the picador (link shows painting’s French Wikipedia page) isn’t shown online by its current-location (doesn’t have a website).The Google translation of the French page reads better, though it has fewer details than the painting’s translated Spanish Wikipedia page; the Bing translation may be better — at times like this I wish I would have taken Spanish (didn’t take French either).It is one of a series of paintings by this artist. Links to each (two at a time, so some repeats) can be found in the descriptions below each image, beginning here (Google translated).A rather different coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, along with a short description (different title, provides current-location) and artist bio. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated Spanish WIkipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Second, of 5 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

Bullfighting is bullsh*t – like zoos, circuses, wrestling, boxing, MMA. Stone age entertainment for blockheads off the pain & caging of life.
