The Picador 1921

"The Picador" is a 1921 sculpture by the Spanish artist Manolo (1872-1945). The sculpture is a low-relief, depicting a bullfighter on horseback, the picador, in the middle of the action. The work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and is carved in stone. Manolo's sculptures were typically characterized by a strong sense of movement and dynamism, and "The Picador" is a prime example of this. The work is a powerful testament to the courage and skill of the bullfighter, and to the artist's ability to capture the drama and excitement of the bullfight.
