Bullfighting Scene (The torero is raised) 1955

Pablo Picasso's "Bullfighting Scene (The torero is raised)" from 1955 depicts a dramatic moment in a bullfight. The bull is rendered in a bold black and green, its horns jutting out as it charges at the torero, who is depicted in a fragmented, cubist style. This painting reflects Picasso's long-standing fascination with the bullfight, a traditional Spanish spectacle, and his signature style, which combines figuration and abstraction to create a powerful and evocative composition.
