This is a vivid
bullfight painting with brilliant color and rich picture. Red is the traditional color for bullfight game. The matador is wearing battle suit, with muleta flying in his hands. The bull is very sensitive to the red flying muleta. It concentrates all the power and runs toward the matador to toss the matador. But bravery and confidence protect this warrior from danger and risk. Let’s have a look: the matador is standing in front of the bull, keeping waving the muleta to catch the bull’s attention. When the bull runs very close to him, the matador change the direction of the muleta and let the bull rush to the ground. The bull does not recognize that it has been trapped into the matador’s plan. It can’t stop rushing in such a short time then finally its head collide with the ground. Its whole body cannot take the fierce rushing power so it shows a donkey hop.
The painter used such an exaggerating way to depict a fierce bullfight game, no matter the color or the posture of the matador and the bull. The effect is obvious and amusing. A piece of artwork which is full of exaggerations leaves deeper expression to people. No one would think it as ridiculous but will appreciate the painter’s rich imagination more.
